I probably have the source for a driver for said sBus cards...
(Under the assumption there isn't that much choice of manufacturer!)
Certainly we had FDDI on sBus (not solaris) and I might happen to have an
'off-site' backup of the relevant code somewhere.

Actually it is quite likely that the sBus interface is the same DMA2
chip as was used for the amd lance ethernet cards, but with some
standard fddi chipset replacing the lance.

The sBus token ring cards we had were made that way.
