The overall answer I received was that I am only limited by the
number of SBus slots on my host.

Thanks to the following people for their quick responses:

If you go to Sun's web site and look up the product specifications for the
SSA and/or the Ultra, there is a chart that displays how many can be put on
the machine.

Without looking, I think that you can only have 2 SSA model 1xx or a single
SSA model 2xx or 2xxx.
