Last week I posted to the Schmartboard mailing list asking about more interface types for their system. I made reference to sites like this and pleaded the case of individuals wishing to make projects that interface a little better than the methods available now. In particular, I left an example of how this could benefit an organization such as this. Neal Greenburg(VP in sales) replied that they had been kicking ideas around like what I was proposing for a while, and that he would like to get some feedback. So, if you're interested, head on over and pipe in. The basic request I made was asking for common internal pc interfaces(PCI, PCI-e, AGP, ISA, etc..) to be included as an attachable card edge module.
The reason for my request was that this would allow organizations such as this one to develop hardware that is now unachievable at a decent prototyping price(quantities in the single digits). Their modules allow robust SMD hardware to be hand soldered and connected to other modules, but interfacing to a pc or other system is limited to rs232. At the very least it would allow your organization to tackle a few approaches at once, and keep the prototyping costs to a minimum before commiting to any set board. I left a much more in depth post there, and if you're interested, you can find it there. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/schmartboardsv/ I'm not affiliated with schmartboard in any other way than as a customer.
