- The application sounds fairly specialized and I'm not sure you will
- find an SBus module that has the appropriate interface logic for this.
- (Sun used to maintain a list of 3rd party SBus modules.....you might
- try your local Sun Office).

- --- OR ---
-
- You might consider using a VMEbus module...there are a number available
- with A/D and DI/DO functions. The SPARCstation could be linked with
- an SBus to VMEbus adapter. PTI builds such an adapter and VITA (VMEbus
- International Trade Association) in Holland can help you with potential
- VMEbus modules.
-
- Just a thought......
