Bruce,

You should be looking for a SYM8751SP. Fastwide header internal and
external as well as a 50 pin internal. You can use any two headers out of
three. The "SP" on the end of the model number seems to be important.
There is a 8751 varient floating around that doesn't seem to boot Sparcs
natively.

                                                        jim
