I'd be interested to hear comments on available VME based 
servo-motor controller boards. I'm looking for anything that 
will output a +- 10 volt motor command signal, perform 
quadrature decoding from HEDS style encoders, and have some programmable 
filtering capabilities. I'm familiar with the GALIL DMC-300-10 which fits 
my requirements but at the same time has some awful features,
for example  its instruction set is ASCII based and it doesn't 
generate interrupts.

I understand that the Lynx OS people have a controller board but 
I don't know anything more about it. Is anyone using this board?

What other boards are available? 

I'll summarise if there's sufficient interest.
