The MVME2300 series supports both little-endian and big-endian 
software. Because the PowerPC processor is inherently big-endian, PCI is 
inherently little-endian, and the VMEbus is big-endian, there is potential 
for confusion. The figures below illustrate how the MVME2300 series 
boards handle the endian issue in big-endian and little-endian modes.
