Well -- mvme16x was working okayish around august; but the VME
machine I got donated has a broken powersupply in the mean time, so I
can't test anymore, and I seem to have lost the name and email address
of the guy who donated me the hardware :(
If anyone knows who I'm talking about, I'd love it... he's from Utrecht,
and is involved with HCC68K, that's all I remember...
