3.13.0-compatible versions of all of Mark's records are included
(buried, really) in a tar file available from the EPICS Software
Distribution web page at APS. Here's the specific URL
http://www.aps.anl.gov/XFD/SoftDist/swBCDA/xfdApp_R3.13.0.beta7_unbuilt.tar.gz
It's not just the .dbd files, by the way. There are changes in the
record-support code as well, and file names have changed to agree
with other 3.13 software. The new file names are vmeRecord.{c,dbd} and
gpibRecord.{c,dbd}.
