S4000DX
Series 5E/501
Series 5E/602
Series 6/602
Series 6/904
Series 6E/903

Our biggest Kick-Ass CPU system is:
	'haxrus'

	1GB RAM (2x256MB, 4x128MB)
Our biggest I/O system is:
	'eieio'
	Series6/701
	128MB RAM
	MCAB
	Cougar SCSI
	15 Toshiba CDROM drives
	several crummy disks and 1 good one

	4 SCSI channels:
		I/O board
		MCAB SCSI
		2 on the Cougar
	2 ethernets
		I/O Board
		MCAB enet
	
	
We have the following controllers/boards/chassis:
Chassis's
Series 500
Series 600
Series 700
Series 900
Series 810 (SCSI box)
CPU and I/O boards
Series4 cpu (none in use)
Series5 cpu (none in use)
Series5E cpu
Series6 cpu
Series6E cpu
MCAB
AJ - DR rev I/O Boards
Memory
16MB
32MB
128MB
256MB
S4000 Memory Expander board
S3000 Memory Expander board
Video/FrameBuffer
bw2 (SBus)
sga20 (SBus)
sga40 (SBus - none in use)
cg30
cg40 (none in use)
Disk Controller
Interphase 4220 "cougar" SCSI
Xylogics 753 SMD (not presently in use)
Xylogics SV7800 IPI controller
Networking and Communications
Interphase 4221 FDDI (not presently in use)
Xylogics 781 MUX
Interphase 4207 "eagle" ethernet
Sun X453A ethernet (SBus)
Things we don't have: (hint, if you have one you don't need...)
512MB Memory boards
2GB Memory boards (Matsushita is the only one)
KBus floppy controller (non-production)
Series7 cpu (non-production)
KBus Interconnection system
don't know how far this got in development, but it was a system that interconnected KBus chassis' to expand the number of usable slots. I could sure use one to link 2 /900s together to get more than 1GB RAM, you know ;-}
Series6 using an MBUS module instead of onboard CPU/MXCC
if anyone has tried this, please let me know. I've been tempted to buy a Sun SM41 MBUS module to try it out. This is how they tested the Series6 boards when sampling on the Viking chips was low and Solbourne had only a single Viking chipset.

Individual members of CSOps have the following system types for personal home machines:

S3000
S4000
S4000DX
Series5/501
Series5E/501
Series6/501
Series6/601
