This chassis once held a FORCE SPARC VME controller. It has long since been
removed
by the previous owner. Hence, those terminators are probably from that
board....
Thanks,
Ram

Subject: RE: Help setting up a SBS/Bit3 PCI-to-VMEBus cards
Hi Chris,
I was able to get the drivers from SBS. They have the
manuals, etc online and anyone can download them. Better
than other companies where it is a pain to get them. Since I
am quite a newbie when it comes to VME, I am not sure if I
installed everything correctly. I got the chassis hooked up
and everything and the showrevs utility does seem to pick up
both the PCI and VMEBus cards. I really want to get this
working under Linux, but I want the windows version up and
running first. Here is what I have so far:
1) A VME Chassis with the SBS board connected to slot #0
(System controller)
2) Several transputer VME slave boards on the other slots. I
want just the 1st transputer board to be recognized by the
VME bus while the others are there just for power and J2
connections.
3) The drivers I have for the transputer boards are UNIX
source files which I need to convert over to Windows XP/SBS
style. I could surely use some help here (any software that
illustrates how to communicate when be helpful).
4) There seems to be terminators? on both the J1 and J2 on
slot #0. What are they used for? Should I remove them?
They are on the back of the VME Chassis.
5) This is a VERO chassis (if that has any relevance).
Thanks a lot,
Ram
