----------

The HP 98577A VME Expander is a plug-on card cage (similar to the DIO-II
Expander), with a VME bus controller card, power supply, and 4 VME card
slots.  Connects directly to the DIO-II backplane, must be the topmost
expander (i.e., only one is possible).

The HP 98646A DIO-to-VME Adapter interfaces from a DIO-I slot to a standalone
VME card cage (which you provide).  The HP 98242B can be used to convert the
upper-most DIO-II slot in an SPU or Expander to a DIO-I pair (1 accessory &
1 I/O slot).
