    I am working on a multiprocessor system which will have
multiprocessors on the VME bus.  It will be necessary for the
application software to broadcast data to the other processors' local
memory.  Does anybody know if this has been done, or if it is feasable?
    If necessary, we can 'bend' the VME spec to allow this, since we
are already planning to use a non-standard VME connector.  Also all the
VME cards will be unique, so they don't have to conform to the standard.
But we would like to stay with the standard as much as possible.
