[net.micro] VME I/O hardware

Hiya.  Some folks who may have wanted to sell us a uVAX claimed that VME-bus
device controllers had all sorts of non-uniform interfaces, so that you wound
up being stuck with buying the vendor's [expensive] hardware to get device
drivers, unless you wanted to roll your own.

Is this really the case?  I'd have thought that SASI/SCSI would at least be
canonical for disk controllers, though maybe that's sort of like X.34-1979
conformance. :-)  Any information would be helpful.
