Connecting Matrox Meteor-II /Standard to other boards

The VMChannel interface allows the transfer of data to other Matrox boards. Insert a VMChannel backplane (available with interconnect kits) across the VMChannel interface to connect the boards. Note that when connecting multiple Matrox boards, at least one of the boards must be bus-controller capable.

Matrox Meteor-II is not bus-master capable.
