Message-ID: <506@cernvax.UUCP> Date: Tue, 21-Jul-87 09:24:01 EDT Article-I.D.: cernvax.506 Posted: Tue Jul 21 09:24:01 1987 Date-Received: Fri, 24-Jul-87 01:34:38 EDT Organization: CERN, Geneva, Switzerland Lines: 20 Keywords: VME, process control, data acquisition Xref: mnetor comp.sys.amiga:6766 comp.periphs:469 AMIGA-2000 seems well suited to be the heart of a control or data acquisition system (multi-tasking OS, interactive graphic, bi-processor system at least with the PC,...). Connecting the AMIGA to the V.M.E. bus would not only allow the AMIGA to access the outside world (ADC, TDC, DAC, relay control,...) but also increase drastically the power of the system through all the already existing V.M.E. boards (processors, memories, hard disks magnetic tape and CD-ROM controllers, GPIB, CAMAC, FASTBUS controllers) 1) Has anybody already heard about such a system (AMIGA-VME) ? If not, 2) Is there enough interest to try to organize ourselves to make a joint effort to design it? What do you think ????? D. Perret-Gallix
