I just love quotes like this (from the November 1999 issue of Military &
Aerospace Electronics):

"Another problem with replacing all 1553 with Fibre Channel is software
compatibility, says George Meares, vice president of research and
development at VMIC.  Currently there are neither Fibre Channel devices
designed to work with the Ada programming language,, (sic) nor is there any
interest, he adds."

Now, I know of at least one very large program that is developing just such
technology.  Perhaps someone should inform Mr. Meares of this effort.  Of
course, they aren't using VMIC hardware...
