I don't know this machine at all, but I suspect
that the rack height is
actually 5.25" (which is called '3U'). The boards sound like single
height standard eurocards, which are 100mm high by 160mm deep. Getting
prototyping boards for this machine is no problem :-)
Well...he didn't say wether the cards are vertical or horizontal. It could
be that he's got a 6U VME backplane with only P1 connectors, especially if
it's an old computer.
Unfortunately, the DIN41612 connector was used for many
buses, not just
VME.
This is definately true, probably because they are fairly mechanically
reliable.
