You need version 2.22 or later to support SM-71 and SM-81 CPU modules. I
have an image of version 2.25 (which adds support for >125 Mhz Hypersparc
modules) in my bootROM archive at:

http://lios.apana.org.au/~cdewick/data/bootroms.html

I've got the Sparc 10 version of this as well, but it's not in the archive
yet.

MemoryX (www.memoryx.com) was selling v2.25 bootROM's for both Sparc 10's
and Sparc 20's for US$40 each plus shipping. I'd offer them too, however I
don't have an EPROM programmer which handles 32-pin EPROM's. 8-)

Regards,

Craig.
