Howdy All,

We have a VMEbus system with a Force-30 (68030) cpu card which runs
os9. Using a VME-to-VMEbus adapter, I`m able to read/write the memory
on the Force-30 from a Sun 370 host using ONLY the VMEbus.  My goal is
to be able to cross-compile on the Sun and load the executable in the
Force-30 main memory, once again, transferring over the VMEbus.  Once
loaded, I would like to somehow remotely 'signal' the Force-30 (maybe
through a VMEBus interrupt ???) to begin executing the downloaded
image.  

Has anyone had any experience with this sort of thing?  Are there any
good references which may help?  I would appreciate any and all
comments and suggestions and if interest warrants, I'll post a summary
of responses.  

Thanks in advance!!

Gregg
