Successive chapters will develop the various aspects of module specification and
operation in the following progression:
ChaDter One
-
A general description of the XVME-601 Module, including
complete functional and environmental specifications, VMEbus compliance
information, and a detailed block diagram.
Chapter Two
-
Module installation information, covering jumpers and connector
pinouts.
Chapter Three

NOTE
In order to fully document the complex versatility of the
XVME-601 and the 68681 DUART device, a manual kit is being
shipped with the XVME-601 Module (the manual kit is
referenced as XYCOM Part #74601-001). This kit consists of
two parts: a *Motorola 68681 Manual (referenced as XYCOM
part
#
74601-003), and this document, the XVME-601 Processor
Module Manual (referenced as XYCOM Part #74601-002).
The 68681 Manual covers all information on the operation lay-
out, and programming of the DUART. The XVME-601 Manual covers
module hardware specifics, register access addresses, and
operational programming constraints.
