SM100 modules.  If they're -07 or below they are AMP only and are
essentially worthless.  Higher revs are just barely usable.  These were
the first MBus modules produced, pre-SuperSparc.

Each one has 2 40MHz CPU's, but they're far slower than SM40 SuperSparc
modules.  I wouldn't pay $5/ea for them, but I have seen some absolute
morons (read: Ebay buyers) pay far more.
