We use the controller Wiener CC-16 with the PC-16 ISA interface card, as well as the SCSI controller Jorway J73A. The drivers give access to every CAMAC crate as an individual device, thus allowing concurrent access by different programs.

We use them mainly for labor measurements (OM spectra). It is planned to use such a system for slow control (discriminators) in the Amanda experiment at South Pole

There are rumors that the Hytec 1365 Ethernet camac controller has a driver for Linux. However, Hytec does not want to market it. Ask Hytec for details.
