Subject: Allen Bradley 6008-SV2R/MVME177 Compatibility

Is anyone using an Allen Bradley 6008-SV2R VME Scanner Module with the Motorola MVME177?
 
The VME Scanner was verified to be working with an MVME167 by an exceptionally helpful bunch at Argonne.
 
The IOC hangs during iocInit.  I went into the drvAb.c source and put in various traces and found the following:
 

> drvAb: init()
> drvAb: ab_driver_init
> drvAb:  ab_driver_init PASSED devRegisterAddress
> drvAb:  ab_driver_init PASSED devConnectInterrupt
> drvAb:  ab_driver_init PASSED devEnableInterrupt
> drvAb: link_init
> drvAb: link 0, powerup...
> drvAb: link_init, plink->vme_addr=F0C00000
> drvAb: link_init, p6008->sc_intr=F0C00FFC
> sc_lock
> drvAb: sc_waitcmd, plink->vme_addr=F0C00000
> sc_waitcmd
> drvAb: sc_waitcmd, plink->ab_cmd_sem: 1EA382C  timeout: 60

The IOC hangs when executing this line of c-code in the sc_waitcmd function -
         status = semTake(plink->ab_cmd_sem,sysClkRateGet());

 
We are running EPICS release R3.13.0.beta11
   under Solaris 2.5.1 with a SUN ULTRA 30.
