There is a product from a company called Auspex, but it's not a similar
product - it's an NFS file server (which includes a Sun board running 4.x,
although the NFS and file system code runs on separate processor boards),
not a plug-in board for existing machines.  A product announcement has
been sent to the USENET group "comp.newprod", and will, with any luck,
show up there shortly.
