Updated VME320 backplane



Hello,all.
    The latest VMEbus Systems magazine (August 2001, www.vmebus-systems.com) has an article on new developments on the VME320 backplane. These backplanes are backward compatible with all previous VME versions. Although originally designed to handle up to 320 MBytes/sec, it can now handle 528 Mbytes/sec at 66 MHz with up to 21 slots and this number is expected to increase to 1.066 GBytes/sec for the same 21 slots.
    At the above website, you can also find other articles of interest. One article, in particular, outlines the technology roadmap for the next few years and suggests PCI-X, among many others, will become a popular standard (overcoming the shortcomings of cPCI).
    Best regards,
        Fernando
