   What Sun VME CPU board has a slower processor than a 4/100?  I'm 
pretty sure that's the slowest.

   Weird, I've never seen anything like that.  Got a part number on that 
board?  I'm curious as to what it is.  I'm pretty sure I own at least 
two of every Sun VME board ever made (heh, just ask Linc...he was 
wowed-out at the sight of 1/3 of them!) but I've never seen one 
matching that description.
