A data acquisition system using FASTBUS has been developed. FASTBUS TDC's are used to record hits from a drift chamber, while FASTBUS ADC's digitize the pulse heights from the chambers. FASTBUS data are transferred to CAMAC and then written to a VAX 11/750 using a MBD. The performance of this system is discussed. 5 refs., 4 figs.
