[Raby, Kenny G.]

Might try looking here:

http://sunsolve.sun.com/data/800/800-5822-10/html/spec.preface.html

This book describes the formal specifications of the protocols and the
electrical and mechanical features of the SBus. 

Contents 
This book contains five chapters, three appendices, and a glossary. 

Chapter 1, "Introduction," provides general information about the SBus
specification. 

Chapter 2, "SBus Overview," explains the philosophy and principles upon
which the SBus is based, and describes the basic SBus protocols. 

Chapter 3, "Protocol Design," describes the SBus protocols to transfer
information across the SBus. 

Chapter 4, "Electrical and Mechanical Design," describes SBus profiles, and
the electrical and mechanical specifications of the SBus. 

Chapter 5, "FCode Drivers for SBus Cards," describes the FCode programming
language for writing SBus device PROMs. 

Appendix A, "Specification Compliance," describes how SBus slaves, masters,
and systems may comply with the SBus specification. 

Appendix B, "SBus Extensions," describes extensions to the SBus that may be
implemented in some systems, including the new 64-bit SBus extension. 

Appendix C, "FCode Reference," describes FCodes currently supported by the
Open Boot PROM, as well as new 2.0 FCodes. 

The glossary defines terms used in this book.

I found pinouts somewhere on Sun's site, and there's a little mention or
two of addressing in the Linux driver book.  It's an IEEE standard, so you
could buy it.  I think it's about $150--more than I wanted to spend just to
futz around.

If you come across anything else useful, please let me know!
