Motorola MVME188A VME CPU w/HYPERmodule/Memory Boards/Syscon Module

For sale- a group of four connected Motorola VME boards. UPDATE: if you looked at this listing when it first went up, the pictures have now been changed to show the piece being sold; the only noticeable difference being that the Hypermodule pictured on top has 12 of the gold Motorola processors, 8 of theXC88200RB25 and 4 of theXC88100RB25G. I don't know for certain that the observations about individual board numbers, etc. mentioned below will still match up. They were all from the same source so if it isn't an exact match it's probably very close.


Not sure how common this is, I have never run across it before but there are a couple of similar MVME188A clusters currently listed. This is made more complicated by the fact that Motorola doesn’t put the model number on the boards, only on the top removal ear piece, and this set was in a MODCOMP rack so they removed the Motorola markings and replaced them with their own. In this case it looks like perhaps either a MODCOMP board was replaced or the stack was added on to with a second memory board, a 64MB MVME 188A. As there is another “MEM” board I would assume that to be a duplicate, particularly as they share a board number- 01-W3729B.

The two MEM boards are sandwiched between two CPU boards, but those obviously are not the same. The board on top has a Motorola HYPERmodule mounted to it. I started to remove that just to see if I could find a model number but it appears to be screwed directly into the lower 01-W3731B board, so I decided not to mess with it. The other CPU board, 01-W3730B, would appear to also be called a Syscom or Syscon board, depending on which listing you read from the same guy. So if he doesn’t know you know I have no idea. Please be aware that I am pretty sure I have multiples of this piece available but for now we are just looking at this one. I have sold one of them and thus far no complaints.

On the Syscon 01-W3730B board I can also see the another number as well, 84-8730B01A. Presumably the other boards have a similar 84-87 number as well but I can’t see it without taking the boards apart. The HYPERmodule has 10 gold colored chips attached, 8 of those are Motorola XC88200RB25 or 25E 25 MHz processors, the other 2 are XC88100RB25G.
