Abaco Systems VME-6400 Single-Slot VMEbus Floppy Hard Disk Module

Abaco VME-6400 is a single-slot VMEbus storage module that provides integrated floppy-disk and hard-disk storage within a compact, backplane-friendly package for legacy automation systems. Designed for use in VME backplanes, it supports local mass storage for operating software, data logging, and archival tasks in industrial environments where compact, centralized storage is advantageous. As a Rockwell/Abaco product, the VME-6400 fits into established AB control architectures that rely on single-slot VME modules to minimize rack footprint and wiring while preserving compatibility with legacy media and software. In practice, this module lets engineers consolidate storage for legacy AB systems without introducing additional separate disk enclosures or media interfaces, helping to keep cabinet wiring simpler and maintenance straightforward. Common use cases include retrofitting aging machines for on-site boot media and data logging, or providing local archival storage in tightly packed VME crates used in rugged industrial environments.
