The 4/6xx board should give you all you need, it has:

	4 Sbus slots
	2 Mbus slots
	32 SIMM slots (for a total of 32*16 MB, install in 16 SIMMs at a time)
	and you rstandard ethernet & kbd/mouse & audio & ttya/b & SCSI-2


Quite enough room on a single board.

(Many 4/6xx came with a seperate IPI controller though)
