    Daniel

    That would be an interesting project. I did a Tundra II
    QNX driver for one of our SBCs with an Intel processor, but again
    PPC is not a big issue here.

    What would be the interest in the community for such a development?

    I need to justify everything that I work on, as I am fully loaded
    most of the year.

    However, it's an interesting thought...

    Regards

    Bob

    Yes, one thing we lack is a VME bus driver for the Tundra I/II
    chipset. VME is still popular in military and industrial
    control applications.
