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. Bob Berger Datacube Inc. Systems / Software Group 4 Dearborn Rd.
