There is a book on the VMEbus. It is written by one Wade Peterson
and is published by VITA (I think). If I can find the flyer Wade
Gave me at Buscon, I'll post the full details.

CISy'ness of VMEbus: How about

1) Address Modifiers (remove)
2) Address only cycles. (remove)
3) D16 data width (remove)
4) A24 address size (remove)
5) Most of the arbitration options (use ROR and pri, say)
6) ROAK Interrupts
7) Interrupt Vectors (remove)

That would do me for starters.
I don't think there's any hope for Miltibus :)
