Has anyone heard of VME processor boards that use one of the
MIPS chips (or some other RISC CPU)?  We have a stringent
real-time system that uses 68020's, and I'd like to see if
there's a MIPS board we could plug in.  The reasons for
this would be for performance, simplicity (calculating instruction
times), and predictability.

Please reply by email.  Thanks in advance.  If there's sufficient 
interest, I'll post results.
