The company has been manufacturing VME products to replace aging Moto's
MVMEs.  There are bunch of CPU families supported.  (The English site
does not mention to new QED RM5200 and PowerPC 750 products)  All
design shares a common system ASIC which mimicks the MVME's PCC2
descenders.  I have (Japanese) documents for MIPS products at hand,
they seem sufficient to help porting NetBSD.  The most challenging part
of the porting effort would be to build and implement comfortable "UNIX
grade" PROM monitor smart enough to run BOOTP/DHCP/TFTP/NFS stuff as
well as SIOP SCSI.
