I'd like recommendations for a VME to IEEE_488 interface board.  I also
need information on software for driving same.  Having an example to look
at/copy sure makes doing the code a lot easier/faster.

We use MVME-147 and '135 processors and VxWorks.

I've looked at a National Instruments GPIB-1014;  the one we have doesn't
work at all with the '147 and it has problems with the '135 which I "*THINK*"
may be related to the implimentation of the VME interface.  I've been in
contact with N.I. via their 800 number and they say they are concerned about
the problems.  From a practicle standpoint, however, they haven't been a great
deal of help.

Any pointers or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
