Re: OT: wanting to write PCI daemon

You may be aware of this already, but it seems like an obvious question
to ask, so: Are your cards 5V, or are they Universal (compatible with
both 5V and 3.3V)?  If they're Universal, they will work as-is.  The
conflict isn't about PCI protocol vs PCI-X protocol (PCI-X is backwards
compatible), it's about signal levels.

Correct. Our cards are 5V only :-/

 But to further our next-gen design,
we'd like to go ahead and run a linux kernel on it. That means it
will likely be Intel, so already I'm getting seriously close to
getting booted here, but this we know how to do.

Aw, c'mon, use one of those cute little TeronCX boards or something
like that.  :)

Overkill on the PCI :-) We need one slot

Actually, we were looking at something like the following concept(s):

My only comment here is that the phrase "PCI daemon" probably isn't the
way you should think of it.

ya, I figured that. Thanks for the other comments.
