SV: wild I/O interface idea

[Anders Blix <anders.blix-at-tv2.no>]

Of couse I meant PCI....

I didn't have the time to find a link for it when I wrote the letter, but I
found it now. This is the link for the magazine index:
http://www.elektor-electronics.co.uk/ln/ln.htm . Just click on the Feb
number (296). There are jus a small description of the project and a
component listing. I have the article, but it is in Swedish. Hopefully you
are able to get a copy of it in the states, or you could contact them and
ask for a copy of the article. This is the first part of the article. The
second is in the Apr. number (298). This is just an information article
about PCI. 

On the PCBs & Software section there are prices and all you need of info to
get the parts. 

Hope this helps. This also makes room for a controller usable in a LOTT more
computers.
