Does anyone know of any VME bus repeaters that can be interfaced with the
Macintosh (either Mac+, SE, or II). I would like to use the Mac as a host
and connect it to a graphics processor via a VMEbus. Any information would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Heitke

CERN has developed VMEbus interfaces for the complete Macintosh family. The system is called MacVEE (Microcomputer Applied to the Control of VME Electronic Equipment), and it provides direct memory-mapped access to single or multi-crate VMEbus or CAMAC systems from the Macintosh, Macintosh Enhanced, Macintosh Plus or Macintosh SE. The MacVEE interface for Macintosh II (MICRON - MacVEE Interface Card Resident On NuBus) is currently being polished for production and should be available 4Q/87. It is compatible with the same VMEbus master module and CAMAC crate controller as the earlier systems. Installation is easier, because MICRON simply plugs into a NuBus slot in Mac II. The development of MICRON is supported by C. Rubbia and is being carried out with the assistance of the UA1 experiment collaboration, comprising members from CERN EF, EP and DD Divisions. The latest version of the MacVEE User Manual is available to professional researchers from: B.G.

Does the Mac II version support A32/D32 transfers between the Mac and
the VME?
