A co-worker of mine has a nifty video digitizer card he's trying to
make work in a VME chassis containing an assortment of other strange
cards. He is suspicious that something's wrong with this card, but
can't tell for sure with his system.  I happened to discover that the
Personal Iris I've been using has a double height VME slot just like
he uses, and naively volunteered to help.  
    Well, thirty Iris reference manuals later, I still haven't the
foggiest clue as to how to address that bloody VME port.  I'm not even
sure I should plug in the board, for fear that whatever base address I
choose wil stomp some other device and really make a mess of things.
Have any of you ever done ANYTHING like this before? 

Please help.
