The best starting point would probably be dev 16 from the Bancomm bc635VME. However, I don't have a VME box with Solaris to make sure I don't break anything. If someone else does, I can probably scare up a VME card. Generically, we need to open a device driver, make an ioctl call and convert the data. I'm not current on the linux driver for the card but I can find out. The alternative would be the shared mem but that uses a different model which I don't currently know how to extend.
