I was wondering just now how many pins the Hostmot2 driver can support.
Each FPGA card can handle 3072 smart-serial pins, and it is possible
to connect several PCI cards and several Ethernet cards.

Looking through the headers I found:
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/src/hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/hostmot2.h#L74

Is that 1000 pin _types_ or 1000 pins in total?
(Though I suspect that smart-serial pins are not included in that number)

Does hostmot2 impose a limit on the number of cards that can be connected?
