The MOTOROLA VME, EXORciser and MicroModules Thread (6800, 6809, 68K)

[marcopolo]

As there is no forum group dedicated to MOTOROLA old computer products, I suggest you use this single thread to discuss the following topics:

HARDWARE:
- MicroModule boards
- EXORciser
- EXORmacs
- VMEbus
- VERSAbus
- EVM (MPU, not MCU)

OPERATING SYSTEM (if used with Motorola hardware)
- FLEX
- versaDOS
- OS-9
- RT/68
- Unix 68K

SOFTWARE

So what do you think?

Let's start with some documentation:

MVME319 user's manual:

@Al Kossow : not available on bitsavers

Hi,

Does anyone know this Motorola HDD/FDD controller?
Designed by Motorola Germany
WDC on the silkscreen stands for Winchester Disk Controller, not Western Digital Corp.

Marc,
Here is the M68MM04A(D2) manual you were looking for.

Do you have the documentation for the M68MM04A? I only have the documentation for the M68MM04.

Thanks,
Marc

Hello,

In the bitsavers documentation for the Motorola M68MM01 board (6800 CPU), page 3.4 is missing and the schematics on pages 3.5 to 3.8 are of poor quality.
Does anyone have this documentation and can scan the pages in question?

Thanks,
Marc

Thanks Stan!
I'll update the pdf and post it here

Stan,
I'm going to need your help again, I hadn't noticed before but pages 2.2 and 2.14 are also missing.
Sorry!

Marc,
Since I had the manual out, I scanned all the pages and made a new archive copy. You can create a web version from it.

Thanks for that. There are already a couple of scans of the manual up on archive.org, but this one is higher resolution.

Slowly working through my scanning queue. Those archive.org linked ones are a copies of the version on bitsavers which is missing a few pages. I’m hoping to add updates /additions to the bitsavers archives.

Thanks Stan.
