Hm. Do you remember my talk at CERN about what we call our `Modular IO
Concept'. It's the 3U analog/digital combo card that you might be
interested in. The 6U VME adapter is available and working (so you can
combine two cards into one 6U VME card). EPICS device / driver support is
within the upper third of my to-do-list (i.e. available within the next 2-3
months).

The slides of the CERN talk are at http://www.bessy.de/control/Docs/CANTalk.ps.gz
- for specs/addresses/prices drop me a mail.
