Help setting up a SBS/Bit3 PCI-to-VMEBus cards

[Ram Meenakshisundaram]

Hi Chris,

I was able to get the drivers from SBS.  They have the manuals, etc online
and anyone can download them.  Better than other companies where it is a
pain to get them.  Since I am quite a newbie when it comes to VME, I am not
sure if I installed everything correctly.  I got the chassis hooked up and
everything and the showrevs utility does seem to pick up both the PCI and
VMEBus cards.  I really want to get this working under Linux, but I want the
windows version up and running first.  Here is what I have so far:

1) A VME Chassis with the SBS board connected to slot #0 (System controller)

2) Several transputer VME slave boards on the other slots. I want just the
1st transputer board to be recognized by the VME bus while the others are
there just for power and J2 connections.  

3) The drivers I have for the transputer boards are UNIX source files which
I need to convert over to Windows XP/SBS style.  I could surely use some
help here (any software that illustrates how to communicate when be
helpful).

4) There seems to be terminators? on both the J1 and J2 on slot #0.  What
are they used for?  Should I remove them?  They are on the back of the VME
Chassis.

5) This is a VERO chassis (if that has any relevance).  

Thanks a lot,


Ram
