I was looking at the SS5, as it looks like the RAM is the same. What
would I expect to pay for an sbus Fast/Wide SCSI-2 card and how would
that compare against a SS20 in terms of prive v. performance? I'm
assuming I won't be able to afford SMP (or an Ultra 1, unless I can get
a somewhat stripped one at a really good price).
