Anyone have any suggestions for how to go about finding developer documentation for VME
hardware? I haven?t been having much luck with Google searches.
Given that (aside from its use by workstation manufacturers) most VME hardware was
intended for composing systems from disparate parts, I assume that most of it at one time
had programming documentation available. After all, you can?t just provide binary drivers
when you know neither what CPU nor what OS your customers will be running?or even if
they?ll be running an OS, versus some tightly-coded assembly.
My current interest is in using something like a D/A board or a specific audio
interface[1] to provide audio for a VME-based workstation that lacks it, but I figure
being able to find information like this will be generally useful to those of us with VME
hardware.
