You can do memory mapped I/O which is fast and simple. Physics cards are mostly PCI cards for speed reasons. A hardware chess computer would best be done as pci card too, I guess. You could work towards hardware debugger capabilities using a compact NMI-Service Routine. for our purpose, both systems are eligible tho. --Q -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
