While Sun used triple eurocards on a VME bus, I didn't think that was
officially part of the standard.
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?
As far as I understood
the docs the B012 is just a TRAM carrier with
some C004 link switch chips. It is VME form factor, but the pinout of The C004 is a bit like a 'telephone
exchange' for trnasputer links :-).
It lets you reconfigure how the trnasputers are interconencted. The
interface on said chjip to load the conenciton data is ... a transputer
link. Makea lot of sense, I guess...
I'd dearly love a handful of those chips.
