I just looked at my docs - the board we used was an Acculogic Vesaport and not a "Vesalogic" board. Sorry. The Buslogic folk (who I think have since been bought out by Adaptec) had working firmware on their 1542 clone board and seemed as if they would go the extra mile to make other things work, with higher level sales people showing up and strong statements from the company. However, at that point an NCR based board with everything under our control seemed the only sure thing. I guess that "NCR" / Symbios are now owned by Adaptec as well, but as long as they are selling chips to Qlogic, Acculogic, etc those smaller companies will be hungry enough to sell into the Linux / FreeBSD / embedded systems market. The other place to look for known working boards is to see what vendors such as QNX support. Peter -- Peter Dufault (dufault@hda.com) Realtime development, Machine control, HD Associates, Inc.
