VME based systems ? I've been given a VME chassis and want to build up a
68K based system for fun.
HP 9000/3xx ? I think I asked this one before. But can't find searching the
archives or my email.
TIA

there are none that I know of. I've been doing a lot of work this year archiving
VME information and firmware.
there's not a lot out there for software, though beyond NetBSD
HP 9000/300 documentation is at the HP Museum and under hp/9000_300 on bitsavers

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.
