Info needed on Accelerator Cards

[elee6i5 at jetson.uh.edu]

We have a set up wherein we are using a Sun 4/110 with an accelerator
(CSPI's Super Card-1) attached to a VME slot. 

I would like to know if there are any accelerator cards, available
(say, based on i860 along with software tools and libraries) that
can be used with SPARCstation1 or 1+ series(S Bus).

I have heard about Sun's VX accelerator's, but I would like to know if
it is for enhancing graphics performance or can also be used for 
other general purpose development.

Any info or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
