Hello,

Has anyone written drivers for some of the newer VME (not 64X) IP Carrier boards. It seems that there are at least one driver that Andrew recently wrote for the Tews TVME200 (aka VIPC626), so that board is an option. And using Andrews ip carrier generic software package writing the software for newer carrier boards should be relatively easy but if the work is already done, that's even easier and it would be great to take advantage of that work if possible. So if there are any drivers available or ip carrier boards that people can recommend please let me know. I've used SBC ip carriers before and they have been quite reliable, so that's the direction I'm leaning towards right nowunless someone has had good experience with other ip carrier board. Thanks for you help.

Some of the ip carriers we're looking at (but are not limited to) are:

 1) SBS VIPC627
