VERSAbus

VERSAbus memory card from Motorola Microsystems

The VERSAbus bus was created by Motorola for use on Motorola MC68000-based systems. Although it was not used by many products (although the Power 6/32‎ did), it was influential as the electrical inspiration for the VMEbus, used in many minicomputers and specialist computers.

VERSAbus cards, in common with many card systems of that era (such as DEC standard cards), used etch fingers on one edge of the card, to make electrical contact with the bus; they measured 14.5 by 9.25 inches.
