- The origin is VersaModule Europe.
-
- History: Motorola developed the Versabus as a advanced bus for their
- 68000 back in late 70's/early 80's. It was some huge modules, used
- in their EXORmacs systems. We europeeans love eurocards, so Motorola's
- dev. department ported the bus to double eurocards, what we know as the
- VMEbus. It was announced on Systems'81 in Munich.
