Data Transfer Bus
One of four buses on the VMEbus backplane. The Data Transfer Bus allows
Bus Masters to direct the transfer of binary data between Masters and Slaves.

ECLTRG
Six single-ended ECL trigger lines (two on P2 and four on P3) that function
as inter-module timing resources, and that are bussed across the VXIbus
subsystem backplane. Any module, including the Slot 0 module, may drive
and receive information from these lines. These lines have an impedance of
50
