Actually, VME boards are plentiful and cheap. I routinely see tham at
hamfests for a dollar or two a piece. They can also be taken out of older
Suns (the -3s and early -4s), as many of those machines are hitting the
junkyards now. They tend to have non-Sun interface boards (SCSI, tape,
etc..) hidden "inside" 9U to 6U board convertors.
