- A few days ago I posted the above article, and got some good basic info from
- Bret Indrelee and Ben T. Galehouse, resulting in the purchase of "The VMEbus
- Handbook", and "The VMEbus Specification" from VITA. Thanks guys.
-
- Unfortunately my feed site (rwing) is having a problem getting much news
- flow at the moment, and if you responded with an article as opposed to
- email, I didn't get it, so if you did, could you please resend it to me as
- email? Thanks.
-
- While the above books are excellent references, I need something that will
- take me through it step by step, explaining the choices/options etc., with
- examples. I geuss what I'm looking for might be best described as the VME
- version of Don Lancasters' classic integrated circuit "cookbooks".
-
- I am laboring under additional difficulty here as I am disabled to the
- point of spending 90% of my time flat on my behind in bed, with $470 a mo.
- from Social Security Disability as my total income. That means this is
- going to be a long term project which I have to do right the first time
- without the aid of expensive help/services, hoping all he while that no
- expensive "emergencies" come along to suck up my cash, and starting from
- scratch getting parts and pieces as I go.
-
- Greatful thanks for any help offered.
