The motorRecord (available from www.aps.anl.gov/xfd/WWW/xfd/bcda) has
support for the OMS VME58 series of motor controllers. 

There is a flavor of the OMS VME58 that controls servo amplifiers. The
servo VME58 is command compatible with the stepper version so the
existing EPICS drivers will work. 

There will be some servo specific parameters that will have to be
added to the record and device drivers. 

Disclaimer: we have NOT used this servo controller, so I cannot
speak to it's performance.
