Location of Specs for VME Boards and software for B0

Specifications for Boards and Online Support at B0

This is a draft of the location of the specs necessary to get a broad but coherent effort on hardware and software support for those building VME boards for Run II. Due to the length of the addresses, you might need to stretch the width of your web browser a bit.
