Transition/Paddle board versions info

[goetze@aps.anl.gov (Kurt A. Goetze)]

Hi,
In order to clarify the differences in the versions of the transition and
paddle boards, I've put together the following list, which should help solve
any compatibility questions/problems.


Paddle Boards:

   - BC-003 Rev.1:  This board will work with the VME58-8 only.

   - BC-003 Rev.2:  Also works with the VME58-8 only.

   - BC-003 Rev.3:  This board was designed to work with the VME58-8 AND the
                    VME58-4E.

   - 96PC059:  This board was designed by the ASD Controls group.  It will
               work only with the VME8 board.

   Note: As of now, there is no version that supports the VME44 (the 
         predecessor to the VME58-4E).  If there is enough interest, we will 
         do this board.  If not, we'll have to kludge an existing paddle 
         board when an interface to the VME44 is needed.


Transition Boards:

   - BC-005 Rev.0:  Will work with any of the above paddle boards and their
                    associated controller board.

   - BC-005 Rev.1:  Also compatible with all of the paddle boards.  The main
                    Difference between versions is the addition of the E-
                    Stop input on rev.1.


If there are any further questions, problems or concerns, please let me know.
