Thirty two Bergoz Beam Position Monitors are located in the Australian Synchrotron booster ring. They currently suffer from a poor signal-to-noise ratio and a low sample rate data acquisition (DAQ) system, provided by a portable DAQ device. This architecture is being upgraded to offer better performance. Phase matched low attenuation cables are being pulled and readout electronics will be located in two sites to reduce cable length. Data acquisition will be upgraded using a high accuracy PCI DAQ board. The board's trigger, originally delivered by a Delay Generator, will be generated by an Event Receiver output following our recent upgrade of the timing system. The new Linux driver will be EPICS-based, for consistency with our control system.
