I think all the Sbus slots in a Sparc 10 are masters. I remember with the
very early Sparcstations one Sbus slot was slave-only. I'm not sure of the

It should. You need to make sure it locks in properly so the shielding plate
fingers are compressed between the panel on the card and the metal chassis
inside the back panel of the SS-10.
