No, I mis-wrote that! Sorry! I meant the B011 is a host
interface.
Is the B012 jut a TRAM motherboard then, taking power
form the VME bus
and bringing the links out on (I asusme) the B connector? I've never used
one.
Yes, I think so. We had some at INMOS just to hold TRAMs in a rack.
B004 or B008
are host interfaces for ISA bus. B012 and B014
Hang on... Are you now saying the B012 is a host adapter? Thinking back, the B011 was a VME cars with a
trnasputer on it, but I
think it was normally used if you wanted to make a VME ssytem with the
transputer as the main processor. The VME bus was interfaces to the
transputer memory bus and you could drive normal VME cards with it.
Oh dear, now I'd better dig up my INMOS databooks and check!
