I am analyzing the task of migrating from the old BIT3/SBS Technologies Model 618-3 VME/PCI Bus Adapter, running under Windows XP Pro SP3. It appears the current GE-IP product is the VME64 Model 810 (http://www.ge-ip.com/products/io-car...-adapters/c553). The target environment is Windows 7.
Questions:
1) Is the Model 810 the latest upgrade path? Since it was introduced in 2004, I would expect it is nearing its own obsolescence.
2) Is there a Windows 7 driver for the Model 810? The product PDF specifies up to Windows XP, but has not been updated in years.
3) What is the PCI form factor of the Model 810? I.e. PCI/X, PCIe. This has computer specification implications, since it is getting harder to find motherboards with multiple full-size PCI slots.
