Product Introduction

Data first: Motorola MVME5500 packs MPC7455 at 1 GHz into 6U VME — Motorola’s top VME performer back then. AltiVec coprocessor crunches vector math; dual 66 MHz PCI buses feed two PMCs. Gigabit plus 10/100 Ethernet cover network loads in defense or telecom racks.

Stock: 18 units on hand. Lead 1-2 weeks North America/UK; Southeast Asia air freight 3-4 days extra. MOQ 1, net 30 terms standard. Ten-unit tiers drop 13%. Backup VME surplus matches from US depots. Field data shows 60 °C sustained — PMCs and mezzanine memory bump that limit though.
