Hi Ram, please don't post html, it's a pain to read...

If you look at the Spec of the B12 and the B14 you will notice that on the B14 the upper Edge Connector is used as the VMEbus Interface. On the B12 it is used for Transputer Link-Connections. I'm pretty sure that neither the VMEbus, nor the transputer-links be very happy when they are connected to each other... ;-) The lower edge Connectors on both boards use the Inmos-Interface, so you can Connect the B12 and the B14 via some Inmos Backplane (Inmos ITEM for example) and the B14 with some VMEbus System via the upper edge connector. btw. do you have some docs for the Parsytec BBK-PC2, the MSC MB1T9S-PC-1 or HEMA TA1C. I'm currently writing new Linux-drivers for transputer-link-interfaces and I would like to support more boards than just the B004... bye Thilo
