You need to watch your SM100 revision. Early modules would do MP under
SunOS 4 only.

See the top of the module listing at http://mbus.sunhelp.org/

I don't know what Linux will do with these - however someone recently sold
an SM100 on UK eBay stating that linux ran on one processor and he
"guessed that you need sunos or solaris to run smp". - his may have been
duff, or it may not work SMP under linux either.

You should probably test it before you buy another..
