Progsoc are getting rid of heaps of stuff including a lot of VME boards.
I'm pretty sure that the pizza-box is a single board VME rack (with three
connectors at the of the board) and we have lots of old CPU boards that
are basically that shape. You probably don't want the CPU boards but many
of them have piggy-back colour frame buffers which just might also work
on your sparc 10.  Whether they will work or not is a matter for a
Sun hardware expert, these are not SBUS, they are the older type of
piggy-back connector (kind of square blocky pin header, 0.1" spacing).

Will have a complete listing of stuff available real soon now.
