By the way, we still use VME for data acquisition systems in
nuclear research. We don't usually have a CPU in there,
they are too slow. Everything is run with FPGAs, and it is
possible to have data flowing at pretty close to the maximum
VME word rate. We have a module that sucks up the words
from various devices and packs them into buffers to
send via
USB.
