Have you interfaced a DR-11W type board to a VME crate?
We have a Silicon Graphics IRIS computer (which has VME slots),
and we need a parallel lab-type DMA interface, for data acquisition.
The beast runs System V Unix.
We've found several boards that interface from VME to DR-11W
(The DR-11W is a general purpose parallel interface that's well suited
for our lab I/O demands) For example, MDB systems in Orange, CA
sells a DMA I/O module that connects from VMEbus to a DR-11W interface.
But what about software? The MDB board comes with a standalone
generic 68000 driver, which knows nothing about Unix.
We need a Unix driver to do parallel I/O for this beast.
Any ideas or suggestions?
(in return, I'll happily send you a box of homemade chocolate chip cookies!)
