DC2/DM115: VSBbus 32-bit I/O and controller

This module, made by Access Dynamics in cooperation with the Fermilab DART divison, is a "smart" interface receiver for the 32-bit fast data stream from the Fastbus electronics in the outer huts. It controls two Dual Port Memory (DPM) modules in "ping-pong" mode via a VSBbus link on the user ports of the VME backplane, where it writes all receiving data to one DPM module and giving the other one free for readout from the VMEbus.
