Actually, if you get an MP processor board, it does have 4 Sbus slots, but
one of the two processors will block one.  So you get 3 usable Sbus slots
and 2 Mbus, or 1 Mbus and 4 Sbus.

The 690 VME backplane is different than the others, and I have yet to get
my 690 to see the additional RAM card in a 4/260 Chassis
