VME
Technology
VMEbus is a modular 19" computer
architecture, the term VME stands for
"VERSAmodule Eurocard". Since 1983
this standard has become increasingly
well established; it is supported by
hundreds of companies producing
thousands of off-the-shelf products.
More than two decades later, VMEbus
is still the leading bus technology in
the world of embedded applications.
