And from what I have heared, these are for a 6u VME (whatever that
means...anybody care to explain?  I don't know much about the VME bus) And
the machine in question is a 9u VME cage (from what I gather), and the
multi-processor board won't work in it.  If I'm wrong here, please let me
know...I'll look into buying a 4/6xx board if I can use it in this cage ;)
