Greg,
True, we have tried to throttle back new drivers in favor of
generalizing existing ones. However, the KSI/Odetics driver is very
similar to the ex-TrueTime 560, which in turn is very similar to the
ex-Bancomm bc635/7. The KSI is certainly toast, as is the old Sun SBus,
so can be deprecated. So far as I know, the 560 was discontinued when
Symmetricom ate TrueTime, but there are a few 560s still around (I have
one). Best choice would be a driver that supports both the 560 and
635/7. If sufficient steam is not available to support the 560, send us
a 635/7 driver to replace the KSI driver.

There have been a few implementations of a refclock driver for the bc635/637PCI
cards. (-U indicates universal signaling for pci, 635 is the base model type
and 637 indicates gps version). There has also been a strong pushback for
years now against allowing a new driver into the distribution. To be honest,
I'm not sure what's out there now but I don't see one in the list. Having said
that, if you don't hear otherwise, I'll make you one but I don't know if it
will be maintained in the ntp distro.

We have a system for Linux that need precise time for time stamping application.
The bc635PCI-U (or bc637PCI-U) card have a driver package for Linux that
contains a kernel driver which allows the board to be used as a reference time
source for the NTP daemon? This turns the computer nto a NTP time server which
can also provide accurate time to other NTP clients on the network.
Sincerely,
