Daniel That would be an interesting project. I did a Tundra II QNX driver for one of our SBCs with an Intel processor, but again PPC is not a big issue here. What would be the interest in the community for such a development? I need to justify everything that I work on, as I am fully loaded most of the year. However, it's an interesting thought...

Yes, one thing we lack is a VME bus driver for the Tundra I/II chipset. VME is still popular in military and industrial control applications. -- DE ***This message has been scanned for virus, spam, and undesirable content.*** ***For further information, contact your mail administrator.*** For limitations on the use and distribution of this message, please visit www.sbs.com/emaildisclaimer.
