I have a VME board which is mapped in user space via mmap().  The board is
in vme24d32 space.  The location of the registers are shown below.  The
routine which calls mmap() is at the tail-end of this message.

I am able to access both the lower and upper registers when running on a
Sun 3/180 and Sun 4/110.  However, when running on a Sun 4/260 and Sun
4/280, I can access the lower registers, but I have difficulty accessing
the upper registers.  More specifically, I try to reset a chip through
$8119 and read its status through $810D.  On the Sun 4/2X0 either the chip
does not get properly reset, or the status register is read incorrectly.

Does anyone know of any peculularities between the different machines?  I
have combed through the documentation and contacted Sun support, but still
haven't come up with any explanation.  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
