Introduction
This manual provides programming information for Motorola MVME3604
and MVME4604 VME Processor Modules (VMEmodules), that are based
on the MVME3604-xxxx base board, the PM604-xxxx mezzanine modules,
and the RAM201-xxx mezzanine modules. Extensive programming
information is provided for several Application-Specific Integrated Circuit
(ASIC) devices used on the boards. Reference information is included in
Appendix A for the Large Scale Integration (LSI) devices used on the boards
and sources for additional information are listed.
This chapter briefly describes the board level hardware features of the
MVME3600 series and MVME4600 series VME Processor Modules. The
chapter begins with a board level overview and features list. Memory maps
are next, and are the major feature of this chapter.
Programmable registers in the MVME3600 series and MVME4600 series
that reside in ASICs are covered in the chapters on those ASICs.

Overview
The MVME3600 series and MVME4600 series VME Processor Module
families, hereafter sometimes referred to simply as the MVME3600 and
MVME4600, or the V3600 series and V4600 series, provide many
standard features required by a computer system: SCSI, Ethernet interface,
graphics, keyboard interface, mouse interface, sync and async serial ports,
parallel port, boot Flash, and up to 1GB of ECC DRAM.
