I've got a number of mbus modules (including a couple of dual-ross
100's (I have one SS20 running two of these for a quad-processor
system)). I dont' think I have any SM81's, but I might have an SM71,
and definitely 51's

What do you have to trade? I have a Indigo 2 (purple) that I've not
even had time to set up yet... :()
