Have a look at www.cmd.com; amazingly enough, (considering the date of
manufacture (my CMD board shows a copyright of 1987, with chip date codes
from 1990)), they have documentation for their products online!!!!
I've had good look finding doc's here, but I haven't tried the tech
support links on their web site.
BTW, according to the hard copy I got with my CMD board, as far as the
MVAX is concerned, it's an MSCP device controller (which AFAICT is good
news).
