Zusammenfassung:	To enhance existing CAMAC systems, an intelligent CAMAC crate controller with CC-A2 functionality was developed. The main enhancement was the replacement of the branch highway with a new standard of inter-crate connection: the VICbus. The other highlights are: optional use of a Motorola 68030 CAMAC as a CAMAC list-processor and for optimization of CAMAC blocktransfers, and optional Ethernet or Cheapernet connection. With this controller it will be possible to save the investment made in CAMAC crates and modules, while combining them with modern technologies.< >
