Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
Ron,
In our case the problem is a little different. Back in 2006/7 after the
ID34 problem at APS we had all of our OMS58 cards modified by the vendor
including the card that failed this summer.

Hello Elder,
This failure, and the vendor's fix, are documented in the following
tech-talk message;
http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2006/msg01261.php
From the above message;
> OMS VME58 user's should review what the consequences of
> having this failure occur at their facilities would be.
> The decision to have your boards retrofitted should strike
> a balance between the probability of board failure (higher
> if exposed to radiation) and the consequences of that
> failure.
