Hmmm... AFAIK the hme/scsi combo board was a X1018A or such.  The 1059a's
were just 100bt by themselves... strange...

I believe this is the happy meal card (hme0 or such under solaris).  A
driver for hme cards is being developed (by matthew green, I believe) in
-current, but AFAIK it's not ready for prime time yet.

Is there another part on it?  There should be a 501-2919 on the sbus
connector.

If you are looking for half duplex, the be cards seem to work.  I can get
part numbers for you tonight, as I have a working card in my ss5 at home.
