They actually use Multibus II in the '010 machines, and a slightly
modified (?, maybe just more careful part selection and shorter
cabling) version in the '020 units, to bump the bus speed up to ~30mhz.

Most Sun 2's, I think, are still Multibus, as were the Callans and
countless other Unix boxen.  Strange how they ended up with
Intel-derived things, isn't it...
