Frequently asked questions

VPCIVMED is designed to work with Windows 95 and Windows 98 in 32-bit mode only. It does not support MS-DOS, Windows 3.11, or Windows NT at this time.

VME bus access is managed through an interface window of a virtual memory area defined by the driver. For user applications, this window behaves like normal memory, allowing read and write operations to the VME bus through simple memory access.

Yes, access to the driver is not limited to a single process. Multiple processes can use the driver simultaneously, and it can even support multiple VME interfaces.

pvmon.exe is a simple test utility supplied with the driver. It's a useful tool for checking access to the VME bus and testing VME modules.

Pressing the reset button on the front panel will cause an interrupt. Applications using the driver must be designed to handle this interrupt and perform any necessary subsequent actions.

After a reset, the contents of all VIC68A registers are lost. It is necessary to perform a deinitialization followed by a reinitialization to reload these registers and ensure proper interface operation.
