I'm not sure that it's possible to use the DVMA-savvy boards on the 
4/100.  I think you're pretty much limited to serial boards, and the 
like.  The 4/100 was pretty weak in the VME arena ... I think the one 
slot was kind of token...

Then again, I could be totally wrong ... Chuck would probably know :-)
