A few days ago someone put out a query about an interface to go between the
Qbus and the VME bus. Someone here at our site is running a parallel-processing
application (using a MicroVAX to control downloading of code and data to a
large number of specially-designed boards with 68020's on them). I asked him
for information - here is what he is using:

Ruth,
    The ACP system has exactly such an interface. It is called a QVI and was
designed by Hari Areti and others at Fermilab (P.O. Box 500, Batavia, Illinois
60510, USA). It is available for about US$1000 (two cards: one for VME bus, one
for Q-Bus) from Omnibyte Corp., 245 West Roosevelt Road, West Chicago, Illinois
60185, USA; telephone: (312)231-6880.

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL for short).
