  	I'd like to know what some of people's favorite platforms are
for 6-U VME board test setups.  There are a number of boards
out there set up to run VxWorks, PSOS, or other kernels
with complete networking support,SCSI ports, 
and embedded real-time OSs built in, while there are others which
are considerably less expensive, but offer progamming libraries and
sample applications to support software development albeit without
alot of the bells and whistles.   Which one more closely fits the 
needs of in-house board test? 
	While the integrated soloution may save development time,
it may be underutilized in a non-networked serial control sort
of environment, and may also have a long start-up time between
power cycles if a serial download and/or network boot is involoved.
On the other hand, if development support is available, the
lower priced board may be more closely suited to the needs of
manufacturing test, those being at least:
	1) ease of use
	2) low purchase cost
	3) PC control
	4) programmability
	5) all control in ROM.

Thanks for the comments in advance, and if there is interest I 
will summarize in early Jan. 

Sincerely;
Rick Davis
