Sure thing. > > I would like to see some sort of capture IC like e.g.: > http://www.analog.com/en/prod/0,,760_793_ADV7401%2C00.html > This would be helpful for reasons already mentioned.

Howard was talking about a $5 part, but this one can do higher res, so it might be worth the extra $10 additional. > > Are pads + IC for Component out a possibility, or is that too much space? Pads are a possibility, in the space remaining where there are no chips. We just can't put anything there. It's not so much that we mind violating PCI spec, but that we don't want to in case someone has a physical confict where they install the board. > Another thing that would be nice would be an LVDS LCD connector, but I > understand > you probably don't have space on the board for that -- we can probably make an > expansion board for that without too many problems, but I doubt IDC > connectors are > very good for transmitting impedance controlled lines.

Yeah, alas, we're stuck with one set of 64 I/Os (on the 100 pin IDC) and another 60 that we can't route to a connector. > The only other thing I can think of is a JTAG slave and/or I2C, so hacking > other devices > is easier.
