The 170 is a nice board - the fan on the CPU is the giveaway - 170MHz
turboSPARC, 256K cache, by far the best SS5 made.  (Others may disagree,
but *I* liked it.)

Direct swap for your 70's board, you can even swap the NVRAM.  I upgraded
about 20 -70's to -170's when the upgrade cost $1200 or so from Sun. :-)
