Overview
The VMIVME-7452 is a passive 6U single-slot VMEbus carrier board, originally developed by VMIC (later acquired by GE Fanuc, then Abaco Systems). It is not a processor board; it acts purely as a mechanical and power carrier for storage media, intended to pair with VMIC VME single-board computers (SBCs) that carry onboard IDE and floppy controllers.
This VME storage module mounts a 3.5-inch 1.44 MB floppy drive, plus a 2.5-inch IDE hard disk drive, with an optional IDE flash disk upgrade. It draws power from VME P1/P2 backplane connectors and routes IDE and floppy signals through the P2 connector to the host VME SBC. Widely used for legacy VME embedded systems, it stores real-time operating systems, firmware, logs and configuration data for critical industrial equipment.
Key Features
- Passive VME Carrier Design: No onboard CPU or logic chips, low failure rate, low power consumption, high reliability for long-running embedded systems
- 6U Single-Slot VMEbus Form Factor: Standard Eurocard size, fits standard VME chassis, occupies one VME slot
- Dual Storage Support: Built-in bay for 1.44MB 3.5” floppy drive + 2.5” IDE HDD; optional IDE flash drive as solid-state replacement
- VMEbus Interface: A16 / D08 / D16 slave VME interface, works with compatible VMIC VME SBCs that integrate IDE/floppy controllers
- Power from VME Backplane: Powered via P1 and P2 VME connectors, +5V main supply; +12V for hard disk spindle motor
- Field Upgradeable: Swap HDD or flash media without replacing the VME carrier board, ideal for legacy system retrofit
- Industrial Rugged Build: Designed for vibration resistance, suitable for continuous operation in factory, power, transport and defense embedded racks

- Industrial automation legacy VME system retrofitting
- Embedded real-time control running VxWorks / old Linux systems
- Factory test stands and data logging VME equipment
Why Choose VMIVME-7452
For old VME-based industrial systems, the VMIVME-7452 remains one of the most common drop-in storage carriers. Since it is a passive board, the board itself rarely fails; most maintenance work only replaces the mechanical HDD or floppy media.
We supply tested VMIVME-7452 modules for legacy equipment repair and system upgrade. Each unit is fully inspected before shipment, with secure industrial packaging for international shipping.
Supply & Shipping

- Pre-shipment functional testing
- Global shipping, DHL / FedEx available
- Support bulk inquiry for plant maintenance spare parts
- Technical document support (datasheet, installation notes upon request)
FAQ
Q: Is VMIVME-7452 a CPU board? A: No. VMIVME-7452 is a passive storage carrier board. It must work with a VMIC VME SBC that has built-in IDE and floppy controller.
Q: Can I replace the HDD with flash disk on VMIVME-7452? A: Yes, it supports IDE flash disk as an option to replace mechanical hard drive for better shock resistance.
Q: Is VMIVME-7452 still in production? A: This is a legacy discontinued VME module from VMIC/GE. We provide tested surplus / refurbished units for maintenance replacement.
