    Oh, I’ve always liked VME. A lot of big computers (low-end supercomputers, exotic high-end servers) had a proprietary system bus, but multiple VME busses for IO. Very nice arrangement.

      Yeah, I use a VME setup at work for data capture and it’s serviceable and reliable (reliable enough to still be working off a coax network cable, lol).

      The one I had at home had a 60K-based motherboard with some custom roms and a load of serial ports … I never managed to get it to do anything useful, unfortunately
