Hello,

I am at this very moment enhancing Martin Kraimer's Linux Driver for the
SBS PCI-40B Carrier to support the Hytec range of IP Cards (ADCs, DACs,
Digital I/O, RS232, RS422, RS485, Stepper Motors etc).  It would very
little effort to convert to any other SBS IP Carrier cards.  Is there
any particular functionality / IP card you were after supporting, that
we could make it a priority.

Subject: IP Carrier Board

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

 2) SBS VIPC8244
