Ok, so the new mac's are going to use a modified form of the NU bus
for their expansion slots. Does anyone have or is working on producing
a Apple-NU bus to VMEbus adapter?
This could be a two card system, one card is of the Apple-Nu bus type
and would plug into the new Mac slots, the card would be a VMEbus card
and would plug into the VME card cage. Some form of robust cable would
then connect the two cards. A range of memory accesses by the Mac cpu
would transparently map to a range of addresses on the VMEbus.
It would be nice if transfers could also go the other way, a VMEbus master
could access chunks of the Mac Memory.
If anyone is working on such a beast, we would be interested in volume
purchase as an OEM.
Please send any info to me via EMail.
