That's one route, though 32-bit 33-MHz PCI is pretty much the bottom
of the barrel these days. Hence the interest in PCI-Express and/or
Express Card.
True. At a glance I couldn't see any alternative from PLX for faster
PCI busses. PLX's chips are fairly inexpensive though. As an
alternative could you use an FPGA as the PCI-Express to USRP MkII interface?
the USRP on the tower, next to the LNA and PA.
You might be able to implement power-over-ethernet to the USRP with this
method as well. No need to implement 802.3af (I think that's the
spec.). Even though there are no spare pairs to use for a DC feed on a
GigE CAT5 cable there are ethernet transformers which can isolate and
insert a common mode DC current onto a pair of CAT5 wires.
