I'm a poor facilities manager who is going to be doing
robotics support.  (Actually it sounds like fun!).

We are building a robot that has a vision processing
module that will be implemented using a sparc processor
and Datacube Digicolor and Framestore boards.  The latter
are 6U VME boards.

One possibility is that we use a 6U Eurocard from Sun.
Has anyone any experience with this kind of setup?  Any
VME cages to recommend?

Another is that we use a conventional sparcstation with
a Solflower SFVME-100 Sbus to VME bus link.  Anyone have
any experience with this beast?  Again, advice on VME
card cages would be appreciated.  (The cage that Solflower
will sell you with their adapter comes with a power supply
that provides less current than we'll need to drive the
Datacube boards ...).

Gratefully,
