he even could think about using it. Also we need
a good way to upgrade the PCI interface in case
a bug is found.
Would it be better to use a PCI chip?
There aren't a lot of them out there.
PLX chips aren't cheep, but they look good:

No development expense.
And perhaps this could be adapted:

and we would have a hardware memory controller as well.
Other than that, there are MCUs that have PCI built in.
The possible problem with a chip is that we would probably need a MCU to
run it so that would be another $10 or so.
