Yes.

Which type of connector do you use ?
1) Standard VME DIN41612 / 96 pin
2) VME64ext
3) 4 row DIN41612 / 4 row is shield
4) 5 row DIN41612, where two rows are shield.

GND loop is within the connector pinning of VME, therefore upper pins of P1 have
highest noise levels.
Distinguish in betweeen GND on backplane and GND on plug-in-board !
What driver technology do you use ? (ABT/FCT/ABTE......?)
