| Remarks : there is also a mysterious VME board, a FG-101 frame grabber

me.
The saturne VME crate contains also two 3/60 : callisto and titan. Ironically, Saturn is also known in the Greek mythology to eat its childrens. Strange coincidence. |
Todo : Still waiting for the NetBSD Sun-2 support. Investigate the FG-101 |
