Until yesterday I had thought that VxWorks running on Mizar boards
was our solution of choice.  Then I read something in the April 8 
EE Times that questioned the financial stability of Mizar.  Since
We're a small lab, we can't afford to be associated with someone
who won't be around down the road.  What other VME companies should
we look at?  We are trying to keep expenses down, so Mizar had 
seemed perfect, especially since they seem to have a good relationship
with Wind River.

What about LynxOS?  What hardware does it run on?  How much does it cost?

Anybody know anything about Radstone Technology?  I got some
propoganda from them a while ago about a board with a 68040 with 16
Meg memory for data and a 68020 with 4 meg for I/O, plus Ethernet and
SCSI, all on one board.  Sounds too good to be true!  Anyone have VxWorks
running on one? :-)
