     The Perkin-Elmer 68K boxes use VersaBUS.  The NCR Tower uses MultiBUS.
Many boxes have no bus at all or vestigial buses (low end Alpha Micro).
The New Frank Hogg QT-20X has a proprietary bus.  The SS-50 bus is used
by GIMIX.  The SS-64 bus was used by Helix.  I think Altos uses something
different, but I'm not sure what.

     Your close enough though.  Most good 68K boxes are VME.  Still, I'm
buying the Frank Hogg QT-20X.  The prices is *much* better.
