Need VMEbus board replacement

[fsmyth]

At the risk of incurring major wrath from certain
parties , I'm gonna cross-post this. I really need
some help

I need to find a 6U 386 or 486 processor board for a
VMEbus, preferably with the associated hard/floppy drive
board to plug into it. The original vendor was
"Logical Design Group", the board type is "XP-Platform",
the BIOS is Quadtel 286(!) / XP+ SYS V1.20.
There is a label: "C9537WAB/94050-1-MOD"
On-board IDE/FDD, front panel: VGA/LPT/COM1/COM2/keyboard.
It HAS to be 386/486 (don't ask). The drives on the
current second board are pretty much standard laptop.

P.S. did I mention that this is an emergency (railroad
equipment down and non-functional until replacement)?
And that the equipment manufacturer has no suitable
inventory? Or that the machine is one-of-a-kind, and
about 12 years old?

Thanks, David. (already looked there). Same as all the
others... Pentium/Celeron, Motorola 68k, or Sparc.
Gonna have to find an old/used board, looks like.

I'm about half-tempted to run a DOS-emulator in Linux on
a Pentium board, but I don't know enough about VME
communications (it has to talk to another 68k board and
some I/O boards on the same bus). I DO know quite a bit
about Linux and DOS, but little about VME.
No source available for the DOS functions, or I would
happily re-compile for a later platform.
