Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility, ORNL

Looks like it will work with almost anything.

We are using a generic configuration:

  o DFI motherboard
  o 64 Mb
  o Pentium IIIs in some, Celerons in others
  o Greenspring PCI carrier board with RS232 modules
  o Datalink technologies ISA DF1 card

VxWorks 5.3.1 - Problem with select function, other unknown problems,
all in all, unacceptable.

VxWorks 5.4 (with all current patches) - This looks good; we converted to
5.4 on 6/5/2001 and have run since then with no problems. Previously, the
system would hang within two weeks.
