At that price for business use, no one here will touch it.

That said, I believe that mesa has an ethernet based protocol, uses RJ-45 
connectors and cat5-6 that connects their expansion cards and which is 
quite a bit faster than a TCP connection.  The 7i90 I currently use in 
my lathe conversion has such a port but is not in use here. It also 
connects to any parport, or in the case of an rpi-3b driver, thru an SPI 
interface built out of the pi's gpio facilities, a much faster interface 
than the epp port as it uses a 32 megahertz clock.

It gives 72 i/o pins, but is a 3.3 volt fpga, and easily destroyed by 
piped in noise from vfd's and stepper drivers. The 7i42TA contains the 
protection stuff, so I am presently building a new control box with the 
pi, the 7i90, and 3 of the 7i42TA's, a psu, and if I can make it work, a 
1 TB drive I hope to be able to copy everything from / on the sd card 
to, and then edit /etc/fstab so it becomes /

I am less than impressed with the longevity of the micro-sd cards when 
used in an active read-write environment. But thats personal opinion.  
Subject to revision at any time.

Nothing fawncy, runs in a permissions sandbox.  The odd port number was 
chosen because I have a long history with the trs-80 Color Computer, 
which has an MC6809E cpu originally, but mine now has an HD6309EP in it, 
a cmos semi-clone Hitachi made, that we've found had quite a few easter 
eggs in the microcode.  Totally unpublished, or ever acknowledged by 
Hitachi.  Using them has resulted in a machine thats almost twice as 
fast as os9 was, so we call it nitros9 now.

Also, you are top posting, please place your replies to a question below 
the question so it reads like a normal conversation on this list. You'll 
find thats quite common on the "innertubes" ;-)
