Hi there,
I'm interested in experimenting with VME systems as a cheap way of
implementing network appliance type stuff under NetBSD.
I've seen a lot of 68k VME board with IDE interfaces. What are the odds of
getting that working under NetBSD/mvme68k? My ideal machines would sport a
network interface, an IDE bus, and several serial ports... I'm not really
after the VME buses themselves, but this is the only port really dedicated
to embedded hardware :-)
Has nayone had any experience with this kind of thing?
What do most of you guys use mvme68k boards for?
TIA,
ABS
