| Hi, we're looking for a Mac II card that could do timing of external
| events. The card would have to support receiving an event, storing
| the time in a 1-deep buffer, issuing an interrupt, and continuing to
| count while the interrupt to read the event time is being serviced.
| Preferably it would also have an error bit set if the buffer wasn't
| read before another event ocurred and it should interrupt on the
| time reaching zero. 
|   In other words, your basic timer card that could easily be built
| around a AM9513 chip.
| Does anyone know of any BESIDES the one by GW Instruments? (Theirs is
| a daughterboard for an expensive A/D D/A card)
| Thanks, Mike   Mike_Schechter@isr.syr.edu -or-  isr@rodan.syr.edu

Does anyone know of a similar product for VME interface?

 Thanks
