John,
We have been using the 6.3 version of the motor record support with
RTEMS for the LCLS undulator motion systems for months. We use the
release right off the EPICS web page,
http://www.aps.anl.gov/bcda/synApps/motor/index.html
I would get the "motor_init_record_com():card does not exist!" error
when we had a problem communicating to the motors for various other
reasons not related to the motor record support. The motors we were
using were Animatics Smart Motors with an rs-232 interface in case
that makes a difference. Otherwise, the motor record support worked
under RTEMS without any changes for our application.

We're running several NSLS beamlines with 5.3 motor records under
RTEMS. I got the motor code from Bill Nolan, who might have gotten
it from Kate Feng. We'd like to upgrade our motor records, but I've
tried 6.1 and 6.3 and I get "motor_init_record_com(): card does not
exist!" errors. Is anyone using motor records beyond 5.3 under RTEMS?
