I have been searching but to no avail. Is there VME Bus support in XP e?

If so great. Must not be used much anymore with cPCI out there. Nonetheless
it is lurking.

I would guess that there's no explicit VMEbus support in XPE unless you can
find it in XP Pro. Usually, support for bus-specific features for something
like VMEbus would come from the CPU board manufacturer, and would not be
part of standard XP. I've done a lot of VMEbus work in the past, but it was
mainly with Motorola 68K and similar processor architectures, and using hard
realtime systems like vxWorks.

Doug thanks for the response. I had already checked all known sources. After
searching more I discovered and concluded what you have stated. It is indeed
the board manufacturers that choose to support the OS. Concurrent
Technologies is about the only company I have found supporting XPe.

Now lets just hope the customer has their board.
