Introduction to the PCI32-VME64 Adapter 1.1 Overview of the DIGITAL PCI32-VME64 Adapter The DIGITAL PCI32-VME64 adapter is a high-speed adapter used to interface DIGITAL systems to various VME applications. One module in this two-module set installs into a standard PCI bus interface; the other installs into a VME backplane. -

FIFO ML013586 1.4.2 Specifications The PCI32-VME64 Adapter provides connectivity between VMEbus devices and supported PCI-based AlphaServer systems using a process called "memory mapping." With memory mapping, VME address space and memory cells are accessible to the host software, while host address space and cells are accessible to VME devices. - Page 10 Because the PCI32-VME64 adapter is treated like any other processor on the VMEbus, the PCI32-VME64 adapter can function either as a slave device or as the bus master on the VMEbus. Consequently, the Alpha host system can directly control and monitor a wide variety of VMEbus cards and high-performance processors, thus eliminating the need to purchase an additional VMEbus system controller.
