Re: Re: Arcnet drivers

I am definitely not qualified to answer your question, but I am stuck 
with the hardware we have - an arcnet interface to a robot controller 
(the robot is a Mitshubishi PA-10). As far as making my interface 
real-time, I will take whatever path offers least resistance - be it 
port existing arcnet drivers or take advantage of existing real-time 
drivers. Any comments from the community (or NZG!) would definitely be 
appreciated.
