Talk to Mike Nicewonger... I know for fact that he has several of the type 
you're looking for.  Mike:  twmaster at twmaster.com

You heard wrong.  Linux may not be _supported_, that does not mean it doesn't 
run.  I had it running on a 600 board with dual SM-100s (quad 40Mhz) for a 
while.  Support for the VME bus was supposedly, but in the configuration we're 
discussing, who cares?
