A status report is given on the VME-ETHERNET-VAX based data acquisition system used with the 200 plus element NSCL 4{pi} detector. Included in this report will be the design of the system and a report on the level of implementation and current performance. Also given will be a discussion of two hardware modules unique to the system. One is the Fast Decision Module (FDM), a CAMAC module used as a programmable trigger and the other a VME module used to interface the VME to the LeCroy ECLine.
