NAME
       vme - VME channel device (88K only)

SYNOPSIS
       vme([number])

DESCRIPTION
       The vme channel device allows an AViiON server to access a VMEbus
       device on the specified VME channel (bus).

       Up to two VME channels are supported on AViiON servers; the first one
       is called vme(0) (or just vme() for short), and the second one is
       called vme(1).  Consult your system's hardware documentation for
       information on how many VME channels it can support.  Some models can
       only support the first VME channel, and some workstation models
       support only integrated devices because there is no VME bus at all
       present on the system.

       The name of a VME device (such as dgsc, syac, etc.)  indicates the
       VME channel to which the device is attached by specifying the parent
       channel as its first nested parameter.  For backwards compatibility
       with older versions of the AViiON PROM, that first parameter and its
       following comma can be omitted for bootable devices (cisc, dgsc,
       cied, cimd or hada controllers).  In such cases, a default value of
       vme(0), (note the comma) is used.  Thus, dgsc(2) is a synonym for
       dgsc(vme(0),2), for example.

EXAMPLES
       Any one of the following statements in a DG/UX configuration file
       could be used to configure the third standard Systech asynchronous
       terminal controller (syac) on the first standard VME channel:

            syac(vme(0),2)
            syac(vme(),2)
