Choosing a PC for QNX

bloody hell, read the HCL (Hardware Compatibility list) and make a PC around
those specs.

QSSL doesn’t go far enough in recomending a PC platform for use with
QNX. They will tell me, off the record, that they don’t like certain
manufacturer’s PC’s, but they won’t tell me who they do like.

What do you all recomend? How do you choose a PC platform when you go
spec a new system that you are going to build? Anyone working in
Process Control, how do you find an industrial PC that works well with
QNX?

Our last project, we had trouble with hard drives that were to big, and
graphics cards that were too new. How do I avoid that when I go out and
buy PC’s next year, to run QNX?

IBM’s Industrial 7581 works perfectly fine for me. I have many of them
installed and running great around the world.

Thank you. This is the kind of response I envisioned when I first started this
thread, so many moons ago.
