Ok, I just did a diag boot of my SS20.

I got:

Cpu #0 TI,TMS390Z55 
Cpu #1 Nothing there 
...

SPARCstation 20 (1 X 390Z55), No Keyboard
ROM Rev. 2.19, 160 MB memory installed, Serial #7493664.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:72:58:20, Host ID: 72725820.

I just lifted the lid and the heatsink on the cpu says SuperSPARC II,
the part No on the silicon below it is TMX390Z57GF

Whether it is actually running at 75MHz - who knows.
