I have recently been introduced to the conceptual beauty of bus couplers.
These are little animals which hang between two separate buses and pass
relevant addresses back and forth (optionally remapping those addresses).
Kind of like network gateways (to use an analogy I'm more familiar with).
I understand more or less how to build one of these for a pair of vmebuses
(or vmxbuses) but wonder if there are commercially available versions, or 
chips to help?  Thanks.
