This is where it is confusing, a bit.... The mbus module info for the
600 series crates (http://mbus/sunhelp.org/systems/sun/ss600.htm) seems
to suggest that rom 2.8 or higher is needed.  Mine is 2.5.  I tried
the SM40 (501-2219), and that just did absolutely nothing, not even
anything to the screen.  It looks like my SM30 (501-2239) won't work
either.  Oh, well, more digging for cpu's.

Does the SM41 work on rom 2.5?

Thanks

Bob
