My $0.02
- we still boot our iocs (vxWorks) from a solaris machine, even if we don't use solaris for much else anymore (booting from a Linux host isn't reliable/working) - we still run arCmd on that same solaris host just for the purpose of emailing the "tail" of the log in a week-daily cron job. We still have to start arCmd manually after each reboot of this machine because it crashes immediately if we start it at boot time. - for the longest time (this problem has now gone away) drvAscii had to be compiled on solaris rather than Linux for some serial line devices on some board architectures to work (most serial line devices worked on most board architectures we use, but some just plain didn't) - we tried earlier this week to connect an AllenBradley plc5 using AbDf1 that was running off the second serial line on a hknitro60 to a terminal server to connect to a hkbaja4700E, and so far this fell flat on its face (may be hardware, but we don't know that yet) - we have different iocs running different versions of cfitsio that include different things (running either of the versions on the other ioc/application fails for one or the other reason) I could probably find more of these, and IMHO the more (RT)OSs we use the more of these we'll get - and the fewer people to ask.
