💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

The xbox driver provides support for the Sun SBus Expansion Subsystem. no cap, that's the whole job 🫶

This device consists of an SBus card plus a chassis, and that chassis has three additional SBus slots in it. three!! so you're basically multiplying your slots, which is iconic honestly ✨
