18.0. "bus time-out problems" by UTROP1::ATTEMA_H (Henk @UTO DTN838-3018) Mon Jul 01 1991 12:07

    My customer Philips has tested the KAV30 and ran into a bus time-out 
    problem, when using Philips VME boards.
    It seems, that the KAV30 expects a signal back with-in 20usec.
    Most VME boards have no problem with this time limit except for the Philips
    boards.
    VME has not specified a maxium time-limit.
    My question: can we provide a list of VME boards of wich we know, that
    works fine with the KAV30?
    
    Thanks in advance,
