   501-1511 - Sbus serial/parallel controller

Serial Parallel InterFace card. Useless without the drop box (uses that
honkin' wide connector, connects to a big box with 8 serial and 1
parallel port).

Often on the 270-#### part numbers, it's a PCB part number whereas
501-#### for the same #### will reveal the part description. Just grep for
the #### on the sun hardware reference or sunstuff lists
(www.sunstuff.org/hardware/ has probably the best list).
