Hi everyone,
I have followed this list for some time now.
I collect, restore and repair Motorola MVME computers.
I'm just wondering can I find some help or (MVME)friends in here.
For example, does anyone have/know about a MVME360 SMD disk controller.
Motorola docs and OS's (System V/68) support it.
Never seen one though.
I have controllers and disks for MFM, ESDI and SCSI
and now I'm looking for SMD controller and disks.
BR,
Matti.

Hi Matti,
Welcome ................
Well there are some old MVME friends here. I still owe you for the help
on my
Delta system and V/68. I believe the early Delta systems use SMD drives.
I recall a few that passed through different surplus operations
here. (Seattle, WA
USA) Many years ago.
I'm still looking for a Motorola MVME 131 card for my VersaDos
system, if you
come by one. I will keep an eye out for the SMD cards.
I still have my Delta system, + a VersaDos system, a VME10 (Partial), a
few PowerPC systems,
a early VME system and a 88000 MVME System. Just to round out the
Motorola line A few
6800 systems .

Since you're into this too, here're some questions:
1) The card cage I'm using was designed for a weird 9-slot backplane
with the footprint of a 12-slot one. Six slots were spaced normally.
The remaining slots were spaced 1.5x apart and had J2 slots with weird
high-amp connectors in them (if anyone wants this oddball, it's free for
shipping). My problem is where to get replacement card guides and spacers
for the cage (deep 6u format).
2)
And now the 12-slot backplane, I'd like to have the A and C pins on the J2
side bussed together (so I can build a Magic-1 into it). Might you or
anyone else reading have 12 IDC connectors for doing this? I have plenty
of ribbon cable.

IIRC, the Evans & Sutherland ESV workstation uses a VME bus for
expansion cards.
Also IIRC, the Lilith has a VME bus? Maybe that one is wholly
proprietary, I don't have proper docs for the Lilith.

I have a small stack of MVME boards, but no backplane or chassis
for them. The CPU boards I have are 68K-based. There are also some
memory boards and a few I/O boards of various types. Sadly I don't
have a list, and that box is in storage at the moment pending a
move. I've always wanted to do something with them but I've not been
able to find any docs.
Do you have any hardware documentation for them? Specifically I'm
interested in I/O addresses and such, as I'd love to throw some code
in EPROMs and do some low-level hacking with them.

I have a small three slot VME box and two m68k CPU boards
(MVME147 and
MVME167). I don't use it much. Sometimes I plug one of the CPUs into the
box to do some testing for NetBSD/mvme68k.
