Ajida Technologies make a unit that gives the PC a lot of control of the
VME bus -- you can watch the bus lines, do all the funny transfers, etc.
The drawback is that as far as I know they make just a MASTER-ONLY
version, not a slave version, so your PC cannot be addressed by a VME
master.  You can detect interrupts and "DMA" out of memory on the VME
bus.  Their address is:

	Ajida Technologies, Inc.
	613 Fourth Street
	Santa Rosa, CA 95404
	PH: (707) 545-7777

If that fails to suit, we make 386 PC-compatables that plug into VME and/or
VXI buses and do both master and slave.  Send me email for more info.
