There are a number of people here who are interested in doing data acquisition with a workstation on the order of a SUN or Apollo. Has anyone had any experience with this? They would have to program some device drivers and have some reasonable real time response. They would be open to considering other vendors as well - perhaps Masscomp e.g. What are the problems dealing with the relatively closed Apollo architecture? (No assembler etc.) What problems are there in dealing with UNIX - not known for its real time applications. Any info/pointers would be appreciated. < dave stampf
