I've recently bought an IP-1 video digitiser TRAM board from Sension
which merrily comes bundled with the IPLIB package. I'm intending to
host the IP1 from a Sun machine using a B014 VME motherboard. 

Here's my problem:

The drivers for the IP-1 and the IPLIB software are supplied as either
3L or Inmos C source happily delivered with *DOS* installation batch files.
Having been in touch with both Sension and the software writers at NEL (hi - 
if you're reading this), who say they don't know anyone who has installed
either IPLIB or the IP-1 drivers on a Sun I was hoping someone out there 
either *had* or tried and encountered problems.

I don't want to blindly hack through the batch files and patch together an
installation for weeks on end if it ain't gonna work at the end of it. I'll
be using the Inmos C compiler on a Sun 4 with the IP-1, like I mentioned,
sitting on a B014 on the Sun VME. 

Anyone ANY ideas or comments on ANY hardware/software implications please ??

The compilers for the PC and sun are the same. The source for the transputer
end of things should thus be completely portable.

To use your favorite editor, you may have to do some CR/LF -> LF
dos2unix shuffles, but I doubt you will have any problem with
code compatibility, linking, libraries, etc.

Cheers,   Andy.
