[SunHELP] Bus Speed Difference

[Robert Banniza]

To clarify on Sun Fire, the 3800s are Compact PCI only which is not a
normal PCI card. The larger Sun Fires are cPCI and PCI. The 280s and
880s are PCI.

P.S. I just played hell getting the 3800s to talk to IBM Shark via
Emulex 9002C CPCI cards. Some of the first off the press. :-)

The last Sbus-only machine that Sun produced was the Ultra 2.

The only machines Sun produces right now that are Sbus-capable are the
Ex500 series.

The Sun-Fire line is PCI-only.
