Suggestion:
A PCIe super-combo board
Gigabit Ethernet
lowest possible latency (optional)
hardware acceleration (optional)
firewall (optional)
2 (or more) ports (optional)
Firewire/1394
non-twitchy
USB2
SATA
support for all currently defined features
(300 MB/s, NCQ, PM, ...)
real hardware RAID support (optional)
lots of ports, at *least* 8
at least one port on card edge "eSATA" or whatever they
call it
rs-232
large FIFO
2 ports (4 optional)
parallel (optional)
SCSI (optional)
Ethernet port(s) and eSATA port on card edge, other ports can be internal.
Idea is to get as much stuff as possible using only one valuable
slot. Usable today on any machine with a PCIe slot. Useful for
a future open-design mainboard. Either put these controller
designs into the chipset, or make the chipset smaller and use
this board for the I/O.
I haven't found anything approaching this in the market.
The only combos I have found have two things, e.g. Firewire
plus USB or Ethernet plus SATA.
