Hardware Overview
The computer hardware for this project consists of the usual VME rack
and power supply and a bunch of cards.
The cpu board for this project is a Motorola mvme147 board which
contains a MC68030 chip with 4M of ram.
In addition to this we have the following complement of boards:
- Greensprings VIPC610 carrier (VME short IO at 0xE000)
- Acromag 9330
16-bit ADC card (VME short IO at 0x0400)
- IK320 Heidenhain encoder reader card.
Only the IK320 card uses interrupts, and for this reason finds
its home in the slot next to the CPU.
