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
