I'm looking for the best/easiest/cleanest VMEbus controller IC, that will handle A32/D32. I'm told that this is probably the VIC068 produced by: VTC Incorporated 2401 East 86th Street Bloomington, MN 55425-2702 Ph: 612 851 5200 Comments/experiences from VMEbus board designers are welcomed, not only on the VTC product, but also on other approaches to implementing VMEbus controllers. Also, I'd like to have a fax number for VTC, as we are half a world apart and 15 hours ahead in time. -- David Koch, Technical Manager Email: dmk@cs.newcastle.edu.au Department of Computer Science, University of Newcastle, NSW 2308, Australia Ph: +61 49 21 6080 (direct), +61 49 21 2034 (secretary) Fax: +61 49 21 6929

I'm not sure, but I think I remember hearing somewhere that VTC sold
the rights to that chip off to another vendor. I think it was Cypress
Semiconductor.
By the way, you really didn't provide many details regarding your board's
requirements. Do you need master mode, or just slave? What about block
transfers, unaligned access (UAT), etc.? There may be cheaper, cleaner
solutions available depending upon the answers.
