My understanding is that the Sbus to VME products can only attain 20 Mb/s (this may have changed), but I would guess that it could still keep up with the XY753 (6U) controller. Two vendors are marketing SBus to VME (Solflower and Bit3). -- Kerien Fitzpatrick Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Field Robotics Center (412)268-6564 The Robotics Institute Internet: fitz@frc2.frc.ri.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon University
