Thanks to Bastian Löher from GSI Darmstadt for following input:
The Version 2.13-5 driver for the sis1100 can be compiled for kernel 3.0.0-12 (Ubuntu 11.10) by altering line 31 of the Makefile:
-ifneq (,$(findstring 2.6.,$(KERNVER)))
+ifneq (,$(findstring 3.0.,$(KERNVER)))
A driver release with a clean solution will be made available beginning of 2012
The first batch of SIS8900′s came out of stuffing earlier this week.
Information on the card can be found under www.struck.de/sis8900.html

The 125 MSPS 16-bit MTCA.4 SIS8300 digitizer is used in combination with an in house RTM development at SLAC for FPGA based accelerator phase control to Femtosecond stability.

The SIS3820 multi purpose scaler in MCS (Multi Channel Scaler) and the SIS3302 digitizer in MCA (Multi Channel Analyzer) mode can be used for continous scans at Synchrotron Radiation beamlines.
The image (courtesy Dr. Karen Appel, Dr. Manuela Borchert and Dr. Martin Tolkiehn, DESY) shows a Charnokite Sr K-fluorescense scan acquired at the HASYLAB L beamline with a Vortex EX SDD detector.

We are about to double the channel density per single width VME card with the SIS3316 high speed high resolution digitizer design. The two members of the new family are:
SIS3316-14-250 the 250 MSPS 14-bit card
SIS3316-16-125 the 125 MSPS 16-bit card
Information on the properties of the two new designs can be found under www.struck.de/sis3316.html
Early first time slice bug fix with channel N LNE source (with signal on channel N).
The mcs file is available under www.struck.de/sis3820010f.mcs
A preprint with the description of the use of the SIS3301 VME digitizers in the data acquisition chain of the liquid Xenon LUX Dark Matter detector was released on August 11th. 2011. A total of 122 PMTs is read out with 16 SIS3301s configured with a 30 MHz anti aliasing filter.
The article is online under http://arxiv.org/pdf/1108.1836
Custom firmware was developed for the use of the SIS3301 in LUX and we would like to express our thanks to Jeremy Chapman and Rick Gaitskell from Brown University for the pleasant co-operation.
Tested to compile up to kernel 2.6.37 (i.e. opensuse 11.4). Download from http://www.struck.de/linux1100.htm
Please go to sis8300firm.html to access the current 0×1102 firmware for the V2 hardware design. The underlying FPGA VHDL project will be made available on request. A user DMA interface as well as the possiblity to generate interrupts from user firmware was added.
The SIS8900 will be a single ended 50 Ohm impedance analog input RTM for the SIS8300 digitizer. Have a look at www.struck.de/sis8900.html also.
