Specifications

VmeA32Master2Base 
Base address (in VME A32 space) of an optional secondary VME master window the 
i960 processor of the MIDAS board should set. This master window, and therefore 
this item, is required sometimes on the MIDAS side in order to be able to 
communicate with some SBCs in SM (For instance, the Power PC boards 
MV230X/260X).

This section contains information the BSP needs to know about the functions to call 
after booting.

on the MIDAS board. 
SCSIUnitXPmcSlot

In the MDR application, this item is used currently to connect a SCSI tape drive. It 
should be setup as reference in the MDR standard configurations. 
SCSIUnitXPciBaseAdrs 
  PCI base address where the driver of the SCSI PMC module number X is installed. 
The default value for this item is
