I've got this Sun VMEbus board #501-1105, that the previous owner
claims is some kind of math accelerator board for Sun3 machines.
He thinks it used to sit in a Sun-3/110.

I was thinking of installing it into one of our Sun-3/280 servers
but since I don't have any information on it, I don't know how to
strap the backplane, configure the kernel or the board itself to
work with a Sun-3/280. Is there even any advantage of installing
it into a Sun-3/280? Could it be used in a Sun-3/60?
