I'm kind of hoping for pci express over cable: http://www.onestopsystems.com/pcie_over_cable.html http://www.innovative-dsp.com/products.php?product=PCI%20Express%20X1% 20Cable%20Adapter This board is $175 today, but they will likely become common and inexpensive in the near future (1-3 years I would guess). A 1 meter cable is $28, 3 meters is $45, this will go down as well. At the other end of the cable would be a MegaMesa2000 board with FPGAs and 50 pin Opto22 bus connectors (like a 5i22 but PCIe-Cable instead of regular PCI), and maybe a daisy chain connector to add additional boards. Here's hoping, Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
