Open the IP connections with the four VME SIS3153 controllers and return the connection handles.
The VME access is A32, D32 and "block transfer" is enabled.
The VME mapped size is 4 MByte (that is the whole Apple DEVIL memory).
The vme_base_address is set to E0000000 (which is the DEVIL extended base address).

The connector pane pattern for all initHWXXX VIs is fixed and mandatory and – for (wrong) historical reasons – does not return any errors. |

| abc | HCIDynDescriptor | constant | It varies depending on the DEVIL36X.DBDyn content In order to fill the ORBHCIDyn cluster with data read from the SIS3153 interface, we read "HCIDynNumOfLongwords" longwords starting from "HCIDynOffset. Data are then passed to the VI |
