- Peter,
-
- Yes this sounds very nice, although you have to utilise half of your
- Hades PCI slots on one gadget !
-
- The other minor 'problem' is getting documentation on the board,
- as with any board really.
-
- If you can get sufficient information on how the boards work then
- it's certainly possible to write the software to run it.
-
- One idea is to look at what software PC Linux has available
- as some PCI cards have Linux software...
- ... Most Linux software comes with the C source which is great !
-
- I don't know if anyone knows anyone who is writing any Apps that
- utilise PCI cards but there are certainly plenty of cards around.
