[comp.sys.sun] Sun VMEbus "dummy" card or cable extendor

ycy@walt.cc.utexas.edu (Joseph Yip) (02/24/90)

Sorry for all the confusion. I am going to clarify my previous problem. I
am installing the frame grabber into a Sun 4. The connector is a 9U
(3x32).  The frame grabber is for the Sun VMEbus.

The problem is as follows:
						backplane
						of Sun 4
		| Sun VMEbus			|
		V connector			V

		space need to be fill in orde to mate the two connectors

I heard that there is a "dummy" card that fill the space and connects the
Sun VMEbus to the card (frame grabber in our case). Also, one can also use
a ribbon cable that brings the two connectors together.

Do you know the part number for this kind of card or cable?
