    I have a customer who is looking for a VME FDDI interface.  The old
    FDDI PID mentioned one from DEC but I don't think it got funded.
    Also any idea on the performance of the VME FDDI interface would be
    appreciated.

| Digital did not do a VME FDDI adapter. Other vendors do have them, but I do not currently have a list of them. My impression was that VME adapters would never be the top performers (but then again we have QBUS adapters as well). doug | |||||

|     According to the August 23, 1993 issue of Communications Week, the
    following companies produce FDDI VME controllers:
    
    	CMC Network Products/Rockwell International Corp.
    		Santa Barbara, CA 800-262-8023
        Computer Network Technology Corp.
    		Minneapolis, MN 612-550-8800
    	Interphase Corp.
    		Dallas, TX 214-919-9000
    	Network Peripherals Inc.
    		Milpitas, CA 408-321-7300
    	SBE Inc.
    		San Ramon, CA 800-925-2666
    	Vista Controls Corp.
    		Valencia, CA 805-257-4430
    
    No recommendations on any of these products, since I've never worked
    with them.  Note that none of the East coast networking companies are
    listed...interesting.
