We're looking for low-power VME manufacturers that use Wind River's
VxWorks realtime OS.  So far we have come up with Dynatem, who also
distributes low-power boards from a german company called "o+r".

We're looking for boards that draw around 1 amp.  Just as a comparison:
Heurikon 68030 cpu    12A
Dynatem 68030 cpu      1A   (all CMOS)

These boards have to reliably run off batteries for many hours.

Thanks,
Roger

Vendor notice: VxWorks support is -not- negotiable.  If it won't run
with your product, or takes over 1A for a stripped CPU or 2A for a
CPU with SCSI and ethernet, please don't bother to call.  I don't care
if you support OS/9, VRTX, pSOS, etc.  We've evaluated them all to
death.
