- I think if you check hias message, what you'll actually find he said
- was that 3u was a subset of the full VME 6u bus. It's a bus for 68000
- type applicationa, and the standard for 3U doesn't support things like
- bus mastering. This is a little different than the way you're telling
- it.
- The "maybe next time " comment was made regarding a full 6U
- implementation. As to availability, you ignored my list of boards
- specially made for the ST, and the hundreds of boards available in
- Europe, assuming in your parochial way that US == WORLD. Sorry, that was
- last year. Now you don't even own your own music industry.
