I looked into the same question when I started my own (superseded)
task to update the HAL pins to all be 64-bit. I concluded that there
were likely to be very few of these boards out in the wild.
I attempted to contact the vendors, to ask if they would be able to
test, and only got a reply from Vital Systems, maker of the Motenc
card. [1]

They have no cards remaining to test with, and are not aware of any
currently in use.

I decided that I would update the drivers anyway.

Is this discussion based on an expectation of withdrawing RTAI
support? My impression from scanning PRs has been that RTAPI support
has been expanding, with improved support for RTAI and also for
Xenomai.

[1] Motenc are developing an EtherCAT board aimed at LinuxCNC.
