Description

This paper describes a fibre optic link that has been constructed which, used in conjunction with the CERN Host Interface family, connects high performance Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VAXes to VMEbus or FASTBUS over distances up to 1000 meters. The modular construction allows other permutations, including VAX/VAX, FASTBUS/FASTBUS, VMEbus/VMEbus, or FASTBUS/VMEbus connections, over similar distances
