No, that's not what I am referring too, and it's surprising how many of
the Sun dealers I've contacted don't know the difference either. 

I already have a number of spare 8 meg VSIMM's, but the problem is that I
want to use a second 8 meg VSIMM in my Sparc 20 to give two 24-bit colour
framebuffers, but the second one requires the addition of a special board
(the Auxilliary Video Board) to bring the video output from a connector on
the motherboard to one of the Sbus slot openings on the back panel.

The Sun part number for the Sparc 20 version of the Auxilliary video board
is 501-2488. FYI, the Sun part numbers for the VSIMM's are 501-2481 for
the 4 meg version, and 501-2482 for the 8 meg version.

It's the 501-2488 Auxilliary Video Boards that I need, not the VSIMM's.

Regards,

Craig.
