Re: latest motor record on RTEMS?

John,

We have been using the 6.3 version of the motor record support with  
RTEMS for the LCLS undulator motion systems for months.  We use the  
release right off the EPICS web page,

http://www.aps.anl.gov/bcda/synApps/motor/index.html

I would get the "motor_init_record_com():card does not exist!" error  
when we had a problem communicating to the motors for various other  
reasons not related to the motor record support.  The motors we were  
using were Animatics Smart Motors with an rs-232 interface in case  
that makes a difference.  Otherwise, the motor record support worked  
under RTEMS without any changes for our application.
