The TMB14 Motherboard
8.1 Overview
The TMB14 is a 6U (160mm) VME TRAM motherboard, with space
for up to eight Transputer Modules.
The link connections between the TRAMs are controlled by a pair of
C004 link switches. 24 links are taken from these to edge connectors
on the board. This arrangement allows almost any network topology
to be adopted.
The board also provides a single bidirectional link and subsystem
port which can be controlled through its VMEbus interface by a host
computer.
Figure 67 shows the layout of the board with the major components,
switches and jumpers highlighted.
