This unit
The Emerson / Heurikon Nitro60 is a VMEbus single-board computer engineered for real-time industrial and embedded applications demanding high performance. Built around the Motorola MC68060 processor running at 50 MHz with superscalar architecture and dual 4-stage integer pipelines, the Nitro60 delivers multiprocessing capability for video-on-demand, machine vision, simulation, and communication systems. The board integrates VME64 architecture with 64-bit data paths and 32-bit addressing, front-panel serial I/O, fast and wide SCSI II, and on-card Ethernet for DMA-supported I/O operations. Additional serial channels are available through the Motorola MC68360 Quad Integrated Communication Controller routed via the VME P2 connector. A Corebus expansion bus provides module customization options. The Nitro60 supports real-time operating systems including VxWorks and OS-9, making it suitable for legacy and modern system integration.
