Motorola MVME166 Board

The MVME167, a single-board computer (SBC), implements a Motorola 68040 CPU with memory management and floating point units embedded. The MVME166 itself is a single-height 6U VME board. This board was equipped with most of the I/O needed for full computer functionality, including RS232, Ethernet and SCSI. The MVME712 module(s) is/are to be installed either in the front or the rear of the chassis, depending on the I/O option you select. Through the front panel I/O connector via cable to the MVME712-10 transition module, which may be mounted either in the forward card cage alongside the MVME166 (recommended) or in the rear transition module area. Through the front panel I/O and SCSI connectors via cable to the MVME712-06/07/09 I/O distribution board set, which likewise may be mounted either in the forward card cage alongside the MVME166 or in the rear transition module area.
