I'm not aware of any EPICS drivers available for other VME-based CANbus 
interfaces, although I might be wrong.  It shouldn't be too hard to switch 
IP carrier boards as long as your replacement has a drvIpac carrier driver 
available; check the EPICS Supported Hardware database for those that do, 
IIRC there are a couple of boards with drivers in addition to those 
shipped with drvIpac itself.

HTH,
