Mark Rivers is correct, we use the SIS1100/3100 on RTEMS for orbit
correction on the accelerator. We also use the same cards on virtually
all of our beamlines under Linux.  We have been thinking about migrating
the beamline applications to RTEMS but have not to date.

We have a variety of VME boards (ADC, Motor Control, Scaller etc.) we
use in this configuration.  We don't use the IPAC modules, however I
believe the Australian Synchrotron does.

Russ is the main contact on this driver.  You are welcome to what we
have.

A brief description is in:

I don't think this is true.  The Canadian Light Source and the
Australian Synchrotron are using Linux with VME via the SIS PCI to VME
bridge.  I believe there is a version of devLib that supports this.
They are using a recent version of the IPAC module for VME Industry Pack
modules, and I believe IPAC uses devLib.

You simply have to write them :-)

Most of the routines refer to VME bus. They probably don't make much
sense on an
ordinary Linux PC. But there might actually be some Linux based VME
systems.
However it seems that nobody has used such systems so far. It's like
everything
in EPICS: The first one who needs a feature has to implement it.

Good luck and tell us when you're done :-)
