Is your analysis of "expensive" based on initial cost, total life cost,
or perhaps some other criteria? Our experience at the APS, including
interfacing cable systems, has been that VME has offered us a lower
total life cost than commodity or rack-mount PC systems.

more expensive than using fairly
generic rack-mount PCs running Linux and using Ethernet (directly or via
Ethernet-to-serial/GPIB/whatever adapters) to talk to stand-alone devices.
