 Abaco VR12  VP12   6U VME Single Board 

This chapter describes features, capabilities, and compatibilities of the VR12 and VP12 VME Single Board Computer (SBC). The two boards are based on the same PCB. All further occurrences of the board’s names will be referred to as the VR12. Any further specification in this document referring to VR12 can be applied to VR12 and VP12 unless otherwise noted

The VR12 is a fully IBM®-AT compatible stand-alone PC. It is equipped with many functions a conventional Personal Computer can only offer after the installation of several add-in cards. Extension boards can be connected via the VME interface. The minimal board size and the large number of I/Os and functions allow the VR12 to be used in many applications. The VP12 is based on the VR12 but dual slot and provides with a mezzanine card two hard disk bays. The usage of PMC2 and XMC2 is limited see description of these interfaces. See the following block diagram for the boards design
