The MOTOROLA VME, EXORciser and MicroModules Thread (6800, 6809, 68K)

[epooch]

Found these boards, still sealed. No idea what they are, or who made them for what purpose.

The 2 boards look like PSUs and the 3 pack, some kind of logic board.

Any ideas and/or useful to anyone?

Hi Jannie,
Definitely EXORbus, Looks like a board that uses (or sources) only ±12V and some sort of buffered I/O board. I am not convinced that is a CPU board. I think the big 40 pin IC (IC 21) may be for a VIA or MC6821 PIA. EXORbus cards were very commonly used for Programmable Logic Controllers for scientific and industrial machinery, but it is difficult to tell exactly what yours do. Definitely specialized, and not generic modules. Any idea as to the source?
Thanks
--Eric

Hello,

For those who are interested, I have just scanned the MVME104 MVME105 MVME106 and MVME107 user's manual:

I've just finished scanning the BUG and DIAGS manuals for the MVME135.

I've asked for my account to be closed, so I won't be posting here anymore.
No need to explain why, I think you'll understand why I no longer wish to use a US forum.

Please reconsider. The forum might be US hosted, but it is international and remarkebly free from politics.....

I asked 2 times to close my account but nothing was done.
I guess the guy in charge of it was fired by Elon

No, Musk wrote the code, it is just buggy.
