I quickly checked the code and found the following limitations:
1. The driver uses vxWorks functions instead of EPICS OSI functions.
2. The configure function can only be called from the vxWorks shell, not
from iocsh.
3. The Makefile uses the PSI build system and is not compatible with the
standard EPICS build system. You would have to write your own Makefile.
4. Parts of the code are under copyright by Tews (basically ioctl, isr
and init). Publishing it may be illegal. I don't know if the source was
under some license. The original files are on a Floppy which I cannot
read any more. At least the original Tews driver documentation
explicitly forbids unauthorized reproduction of the documentation. The
files themselves claim:
Copyright (c) 1996
Tews Datentechnik GmbH
Maybe if you can convincingly assure that you have already a copy of the
original Tews "TIP866 VxWorks Device Driver", I can give you my EPICS
enabled version (basically a configure function which call some drvIpac
and asyn functions).

Hi,
Does anyone have a driver for the TEWS TIP866 (or TIP865) serial IP
module?
Thanks,
