[net.micro] info on the VME bus

phaedrus@eneevax.UUCP (Pravin) (06/04/85)

Could someone tell me where I can get information on the VME bus?
It is probably someones trademark and I don't know whose it is.  So,

VME bus is a trademark of <whose ever it is a trademark of>.

Thanks.

Don't bother me! I'm on an emergency third rail power trip.

Motorola designed and wrote the VMEbus manual.
I have a copy called: "MVMEBS/D1" VMEbus Specification Manual Rev B, Aug 82

By the way, if you can find in the spec the dimension from the top of the 
circuit board to the holes for mounting the rear panel then you must have
divine guidance.  I searched the spec forever and finally had to resort to
the IEC896 "Eurocard" spec.

For those interested in the VME bus, Revision C is supposed to be
available from Motorola.  

Also available is a summary listing 10 changes, the reason for the change 
and the compatibility impact.

If your interested, go see your Motorola rep.
