Hi Wayne, 

I'm not sure if anyone has developed device support for PCI Delta Tau.
However, at Diamond we are using the Turbo PMAC2-VME Ultralite, using
standard VME crates and EPICS 3.13.9. Ron Sluiter (from APS) wrote the
device and driver support for the motor record  - which is our primary
interface to the PMAC. We are also going to be using binary in/out and
analogue in/out to communicate additional information to the PMAC for
complex motions.
