One thing you might want to ensure is that you have the ability to
modify the EPICS code inside the PMAC.  If they won't provide the source
for their driver and a procedure for uploading a new version then you
could have difficulties should bugs be found, or new features desired.

Subject: EPICS on Delta Tau Power PMAC

I recently took the Turbo PMAC class at Delta Tau and was told that 
their newest PMAC motion controller version, the Power PMAC, can run 
EPICS.  It is even in their sales brochures.  If we can move parts of 
our application inside a Power PMAC, it looks like it can provide a big 
improvement to an upgrade project we are doing.

But, before jumping into this, I'd like to know if any EPICS folks are 
running EPICS on the Power PMAC and what your experiences have been.

Thanks for any help,
