The specs are "open standards", although in order to get legal copies of the specs, you have to purchase them from the PCI-SIG. There's are also a number of other books on it that essentially retell the spec. No patents apply. > If it does, the price of the final card will be more crazy. I have written a PCI target, and the code for this is checked into our SVN repository. We are beholden to no one for use of this, other than that we need to get a PCI SIG membership in order to get our own vendor ID (minor detail). But that's not terribly expensive. -- Timothy Normand Miller http://www.cse.ohio-state.edu/~millerti Open Graphics Project _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
