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. James Jones
