Hello,

This is my first post to the EPICS list, so I'd better introduce myself.
My name is Dimitris Tsifakis and I very recently started working at the
Australian National University as the Computer Manager for the
accelerator computer systems.

We currently have custom made systems based on older technology that
some may regard as obsolete. After reading a lot about EPICS on the net,
I have come to the conclusion that EPICS is the most reasonable choice
for upgrading our systems. As a first approach, I would like to replace
the current VME SBCs in the computer control crates with more modern
ones that can run vxWorks, RTEMS or Linux of some sort. After doing a
quick survey of the market, I have come to the conclusion that there are
many choices that will meet all the requirements, but are there any VME
SBCs that are preferred by the community for use with EPICS? 

cheers
Dimitris
