2.4.2 Geographical Address Switch, S2
The Tsi148 VMEbus Status Register provides the VMEbus geographical address of the
MVME4100. The switch reflects the inverted states of the geographical address signals.
Applications not using the 5-row backplane can use the geographical address switch to assign
a geographical address per the following diagram. Note that this switch is wired in parallel with
the geographical address pins on the 5-row connector so these switches must be in the off
