Hello, > You can however do something not very complicated like ISA cards, serial > and parallel port devices. I have not heard of any custom created (i.e.ham > radio) pci cards. As opposed to ISA, interfacing to PCI requires an awful lot of gates, therefore forcing you to use at least a gate array. > One can muse that perhaps USB (and maybe even FireWire) > will allow this, since dealing with a few wires and interface designed to > work with long wires will be easier.
