VMEbus (A16 : D16). The TFP is available in two versions. The bc635VME is intended for use in a VMEbus system with most I/0 signals available on rows A and C of the P2 connector. The bc350VXI is intended for use in a VXlbus system, and is shipped without a P2 connector.

Base address selection for the VMEbus requires the setting of switch SW1 (A6 thru A13) and SW2 (A14 and A15). T h e bc635VME occupies 64 bytes in the A16 address space and can be freely located on any 64 byte boundary. The correspondence of the switch positions to the address bits is illustrated below.

A and C of the P2 connector are not used for VSB or other purposes. The TFP provides signal I/O on row A and C that may produce a conflict. I f a conflict does exist, a solution is to obtain a bc635VME with the P2 connector removed.
The table below summarizes the type of register located at each hexadecimal offset, and provides a brief description of the register function. The data format and detailed descriptions of each register are provided in the next section. Datum Inc., Bancomm Div. bc635VME/bc350VXI Manual...

* * * WARNING *** If offsets larger than +/- 990 microseconds are used, then the TFP jamsynch feature must be turned off using packet 'P'.
