I had several (now two) 50MHz 0MB-Cache Modules like described above, here, in
a SS20 clone with PROM 2.22. Those worked with SMP-kernel in both Debian
Woody and Sarge, and with a Solaris 8 installation (yes, both CPUs were
running).
Still very slow, though, but stable for some hours. I ran X with Solaris but
not with Debian.
