we at SLS are slowly moving to the MVME5100 series. We have already bought some cards but have not yet put any into operation (we are currently using mvme230x cards, which we do not intend to replace as
long as they work.)
An almost unrelated question: has anybody seen or heard of an extender card for VME64x transition modules? We have extenders for the main cards and were looking something similar to help in debugging transition modules but have not found anything yet. Any hints would be appreciated.

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
