I think not.  I vaguely remember that Interphase made a bunch of
sun controller cards -- ciprico rimfire scsi VME boards, etc.

It seems that this is something get again different.

So, we have the following different classes of sbus fddi cards:

	Cresendo (rebadged as Cisco)
	NPI (also sold as the FDDI card that Sun sells)
	Interphase

The NPI cards are the ones that I was talking about, which require the
SMT support in the OS driver.
