C-Size Adapter Description
The HP E1403C and HP E1407A Adapter Modules allow an A- or B-Size
VMEbus/VXIbus module to connect to a C-Size VXIbus Mainframe. The
regular adapters connect a single slot VMEbus/VXIbus module to the
mainframe. Option 10 connects two-slot modules to the mainframe
(however, it only connects the module to the P1 and/or P2 connector of only
one slot). The following gives the features of the adapters.
