The Model 487-1 Adaptor is used to provide high-speed, low-latency bus-to-bus connection between Silicon Graphics Indigo2 workstation via EISAbus to separate VMEbus system. The two systems are only connected when data transmission is needed thereby saving bandwidth. Communication is via Memory Mapping, built-in DMA Controller and Slave DMA Models. The workstation can use the resources of the special function VMEbus cards on processor as if they were local to the Indigo2. Sustained transfer rates up to 26M Bytes/sec. Distance separation between systems to 25 feet with copper cable and to 2000 meters with fiber-optic options.
