These are 6U form factor boards designed for industrial, military, and embedded applications, featuring a 25 MHz **MC68LC040** microprocessor (32-bit with MMU but no onboard FPU). Your specified configuration aligns closely with base-level 200-series models documented in Motorola/Emerson datasheets. #### Key Specifications Matching Your Configuration Based on official sources (e.g., Motorola MVME162 User's Manual, ESI Technologies datasheet, and model listings: | Component | Your Config | Standard MVME162-200/2xx Specs | |------|-------|----------------| | **CPU** | 25 MHz MC68LC040 | Matches exactly (25 MHz MC68LC040; some variants use MC68040 with FPU) | | **DRAM** | 1 MB (parity-protected) | Base config: 1 MB (expandable to 4/8/16 MB via mezzanine or solders) | | **SRAM** | 128 KB (battery-backed) | Standard: 128 KB SRAM with battery backup for non-volatile storage | | **Flash** | 1 MB | Standard: 1 MB Flash with pre-installed MVME162BUGS boot/debug firmware | | **BIOS/EPROM** | (1) BIOS Chips | Matches: One 32-pin PLCC EPROM socket (or JEDEC for boot ROM/BIOS) | | **Part Number** | 01-W3866B 36B | Valid Motorola PN for MVME162-200 base model | | **Daughter Card** | 01-W3913B 01A | Likely an IP (IndustryPack) expansion or memory mezzanine (common for 2xx series) | - **Additional Standard Features**: - 8K x 8 NVRAM + TOD clock (battery-backed). - 2–4 serial ports (EIA-232-D; console + aux). - 2 IndustryPack (IP) slots (8/32 MHz, 4 DMA channels). - 6x 32-bit timers + watchdog. - VMEbus interface (4-level requester, 7-level interrupter). - Optional: Ethernet (82596CA DMA), SCSI (NCR 53C710 DMA) – **not included in -200 base model**. - LEDs: FAIL, STAT, RUN, etc.; ABORT/RESET switches. - Power: +5V @ 3.5–4.5A typical (no IPs); air cooling 0–55°C @ 200 LFM. #### Model Context in MVME162 Family From listings: - **MVME162-2xx series** (e.g., -200, -242): Entry-level with 1–16 MB DRAM, MC68LC040, minimal I/O (no built-in SCSI/Ethernet unless specified like -263). - Your -200 is a **low-end variant**: 1 MB DRAM, no extras, focused on basic embedded control. - Compare to similar: | Model | CPU | DRAM | Key Extras | |----|---|---|------| | MVME162-200 | 25 MHz LC040 | 1 MB | Base (your config) | | MVME162-263 | 25 MHz 040 | 16 MB | +Ethernet, SCSI, 2 IP | | MVME162-432 | 25 MHz LC040 | 8 MB | +4 DMA IP, Ethernet | Later evolutions (e.g., MVME162LX [3], P4) added Petra ASIC, more IPs (up to 4), ECC DRAM (to 64 MB), but your -200 is pre-LX/FX (-LX has front I/O). #### Usage and Programming - **Firmware**: Ships with **MVME162BUGS** ROM monitor for boot/debug (supports VME, IP, serial console). - **OS Support**: VxWorks, EPICS, or custom 68k code. - **Programming Guide**: MVME162LX 200/300 Programmer's Reference (applies to -200; covers ASICs like MC2/IP2 for registers/timers). - **Installation**: VME slot 1 (system controller jumperable). Needs +5V supply; battery for SRAM/TOD. This config is ideal for compact, low-power VME applications (e.g., control systems). For schematics or exact BOM, check Motorola archives or VME experts.
