Has anyone had experience dealing with Ironics?  We have an Ironics
Performer (ha!) 32 running SysV, and it just loooves to crash.  It
spits out trap 165's seemingly at random.  Its MMU faults.  The VME
bus dies.  All Ironics ever tells us is "well, if you updated your boards 
with this little thing-um-a-jig $900 hardware upgrade, that should fix 
the problem..."  

Did these people ever build a board right *the first time*?  It seems
like they are milking us for their own screwups.

Argh.
