Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System

Dear All,

The control system for the Diamond Light Source is to be based on VME-based
IOCs running EPICS under VxWorks on PowerPC processors.  Until now we have
been using MVME2304 boards for prototyping and development, but now we are
about to place an order for a large number of processor boards for the full
system.  We have received tenders offering the MVME5500 and MVME5100 series
boards; we would be pleased to know whether anyone else is currently using,
or intending to use EPICS on these boards, and if so, what stage they are at
and what their experiences with them so far have been.

I understand also that to use these boards we will need to change our
release of Tornado from 2.0.2, which we are currently using, to 2.2 or 2.2.1
and would be pleased to know other people's experiences with Epics on
Tornado 2.2 or 2.2.1.

Thanks
Steve Singleton
