Thats a Motorola 1131? chassis. It has a 12 slot VME backplane made by
Sanmina. The interface between the drive bay and the backplane is a 50 pin
ribbon and a special adapter board or an IDC DIN connector. It only works
with a few disk controller designs. If the MVME147 CPU doesn't come with
the rear interface board for Ethernet/Serial/SCSI/Parallel then the system
is a little useless. The MVME147 board runs NetBSD quite nicely. I have a
few of these. They are a nice chassis.
