The closest thing that I can think of is a SBus Developers Kit which
provides 2 or 3 sample device drivers (on a diskette), a Writing SBus
Device Driver Manual,  Open Boot PROM documentation and the SBus
Specification.  Every thing on needs to build a SBus card, device driver
and supporting firmwear.  For further information on how to obtain the
SBus Developer's Kit contact the Sun SBus Hotline 415-336-2892 (the kit
will cost you $85).  This kit is targeted at SBus board level, driver
developers and firmwear for Sun SPARCstation Desktop machines (SS1, SS1+,
SS2, SS-IPC).  For futher information on soruce contact your local Sun
Sales dude or dudette.
