[comp.arch] Documentation NU and VME bus

lrm@b.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu (GTA Systems) (01/05/89)

	I am looking for documentation on the VME and the NU (Texas 
Instruments) buses.  Or the reference where I can look to get the needed
information.  I need the complete specifications.

	Thanks in advance and please mail to internet address:
		lrm@a.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu

I pulled this info from the 1989 IEEE Publications catalog:

ANSI/IEEE Std 1014-1987, Standard for a Versatile Backplane Bus:
VMEbus
Order code: SH11544   List: $42.00  IEEE Members: $21.00

ANSI/IEEE 1196-1987, Simple 32-bit Backplane Bus: NuBus^
Order code: SH11601   List: $45.00  IEEE Members: $22.50

It looks like credit card orders can be placed with:

BTW, was there a resolution to the NeXt vs Mac buss debate? Will the same 
add on cards work in both a Mac NuBus machine and in the NeXt?

The issue was resolved - the NeXT NUbus is not compatible with the
standard NUbus.
