       VME/BITBUS           5.2 ?        Tornado ?      EPICS supported ?

 PEP Modular Computers
 VMOD-2 with PB-BIT          YES        Not Tested           YES
 
 IST DCM 804                 YES        Not Tested           YES
 (previously Xycom 402)
 
 
 Comments:
 
    * Although the support has not been tested with Tornado, it will HAVE to
      work because of our (APS) huge Bitbus installation (> 600 nodes).
      
    * The PEP PB-BIT requires a PROM patch for reliable operation !!  
    
    * The bitbus driver (drvBitbus.c) distributed in R3.13Beta11 is the latest
      and supports both of the above VME boards.
