Has anyone out there ever interfaced a piece of custom hardware that they built to a Sun with either the MultiBus protocol or the VME Bus protocol, and also installed their own device driver into SunOS? I am trying to determine the scope (and cost) of such, and I would appreciate any comments that anyone could give (as in, "YUCK! VME was awful," or "Don't cut into SunOS, do ...")
