Roy,

As far as I can tell (from the references given below) Sun does not have a Gbps SBus adapter. The one they use and have demoed with is from JNI. From the reference from their site it appears to support switched fabrics - but is not specific with regard to the nuances of loop support. The impression I get from their literature is that Sun is moving toward PCI, but as you point out need to support existing SBus.
