Is there anyone using FreeBSD on a VMEbus PC? I have an application which should use VxWorks like the rest of the project, but since this part has been subcontracted, Wind River wants A$35,000 for an <expletive deleted> OEM licence for the right to link to their libraries. Blood suckers. They only charge A$5990 for the tools! I am being pressured to write a kernel driver for NT to run on the same machine that is doing some pretty heavy FFT calculations using LabView. I want to put a box in between, and if I can't have a realtime operating system, then I need something that I can embedded, like FreeBSD. The question is: out of all the VMEbus PCs available, which one is the best choice based on drivers working out-of-the box? Ethernet is particularly important. For those who are interested, here is a link to the main project: <http://www.rlmsystems.com.au/projects.htm>; (JORN). Please save me from a fate worse than death. I got this contact on the basis that it _wasn't_ a Microsoft development, so either I need to jump off the nearest tall building, walk away, or find an alternative... -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
