I don't think so. My SparcStation ELC board doesn't have a 53C94. They
do seem to share the same hardware regarding the sound, where both use an
AMD AM79C chip. This also handles ISDN on the DECStation.

I've got 2 5000/25's and a 3100, but those are both already on the list.
I don't have consoles for either, so I'm sure I can help testing the

ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/specs seems to have a large portion of
the TurboChannel information.
