Re: New project...PCI based servo control board

[Paul <paul-at-bdiemc.fslife.co.uk>]

hi Craig

Whilst it doesn't have the low pin count, the PC104 bus will allow the use of 
a wide range of alternative IO modules. An added bonus is the format will 
*just* fit in to the allowable board size for Eagle-lite.

With a little care, the design of the PCI card may also appeal to the guys 
over at www.freeio.org.

Regards, Paul.
