Hi Ram,
I've had experience using the Bit3 Model 973 adapter set at the company I
once worked at. It was back in 1997 when the project was constructed and my
memory has suffered quite a lot of bit-rot since then (sound familiar to
some of you? :-)
You do need windoze drivers for the PCI side, but I don't have an
installable set in the project software files I kept that used the product.
I do have some files I could email to you to pick apart if you cannot find
an original windoze95 driver disk. The application was written in Delphi
2.x while the custom-designed VMEbus controller used homespun firmware
-which I do not have. I should note that the homespun files are commented
in mostly English but there's some German interspersed -depending upon
which engineer wrote them.
I recall it was a pita to get the windoze95 machine and the VMEbus system
communicating well. My German colleagues (at our parent company)
designed/built the VMEbus hardware did the software integration. They
reported that they used the right magic incantations and German cuss words.
I just did the English translations of the user interface for us and the
Chicago plant.
Wish I had kept a copy of the drivers package and manual in case I or
someone else ran into a 973 :-/ Oh well . . .
Let me know, Ram, if you want the installed driver files (LESS the .dll and
other files that were not placed in the user directory).
Regards, Chris F.
NNNN

Hi,
Does anyone know how to set these boards up? I have a SBS 616 PCI adapter
and its corresponding VMEBus adapter. I also have a VME Chassis and I want
to install some transputer boards on the chassis and access it via Windows.
Anyone have experience in using these???
Thanks,
Ram
