I have an SBus narrow differential controller (PTI), with manual and
SunOS drivers (rumour has that NetBSD/sparc supports it but I've never
plugged it in to try as I never managed to get the differential drives
I planned to go with it).
I'd trade it for an ethernet card or a single-ended scsi card (SBus).
I'd also trade it, plus a few dollars I guess, for fast/wide controller
or maybe a quad 10baseT ethernet (though I'm not sure I really could
make an SS-2 into a decent enough router/FW to properly handle my ADSL
as well as my cable modem -- the Pentium 150 is probably better at that).
