Expensive, probably.  You'd need 2 single-slot FDDI cards, a DWIS/S and
either a FWD/fastether combo card (third party) or a SunSwift with a
diff/SE converter to fit in a SS20.

You'd only need 4 PCI slots in a PCI Sun.  2 for FDDI cards, one for a
dual-UWD and one for fastether.  Since you get a fastether onboard on any
PCI Sun you may or may not need the extra port on a card.

I question the utility of stuffing all that into one box, but to each his
own.
