That was an interesting acquisition.  I haven't fired it up yet (just 
got it, actually) but it is supposed to be fully populated. I also got 
a spare system board that will work in that chassis, but has slower 
processors and 32x 1MB SIMMs also.  There is also another VME board I 
picked up that is "double height" (consumes two slots) and simply has 
RGB in and RGB out.
