Re: TVME200 and IP-Octal 232

Hello Sue,

I have been using the TVME200 IP Carrier for some time now without any
problems. However, now that you mentioned this I went back to look where
I was using them and if at all. I found out that the driver I'm loading
is the vipc616-01 with the board interrupts configured like 2 VIPC310's.
For the TVME200 board that means switch 3 is set to 2.

Although the documentation strongly recommends using the TVME200 driver,
I guess that I have not tried it yet.

Hope this helps,
