Yes. I am jealous. What is that box in the middle? It does not look 
like a BA440.

I can dim remember somthing like "SHAC at ibus... not configured" 
when I last booted my MV4000/[234]00 machines.

Speaking of DSSI support: I know that someone was working on this
and that his work based on the SII because he has only a MV3400.
How far is this? I am willing to donate some time to the SHAC side, 
when my RX01/02 driver and the corresponding "NetBSD device driver
writing HOWTO" is finished. (The finish will be soon.) 

And the usual question: Manuals? DSSI? SHAC? MSCP?
