Hello,
In good old days it was very easy to build interface cards for PCs with the ISA bus. In these days it seems to be a bit more difficult/complex to make PCI bus based cards.
Would any one suggest how to build a "simple" high speed parallel I/O board for the PCI bus ? And how to program (SW tools) this card?
Thank you.

Our 5I20 "Anything I/O" card will give you 72 TTL compatible I/O bits in a PCI card format.
This is a simple FPGA based card. One of the simplest supplied configurations is 3X 24 bit I/O ports. These are simple 24 bit ports with a Data direction register so the direction of each bit is programable. Other configurations include a 12 Axis host based servo motor controller and 8 Axis embedded microcontroller based servo motor controller (Microcontroller embedded in FPGA)
The 5I20 is $199.00 quantity 1
Our USB-JTAG programmer can be used for general purpose I/O (40 bits) from a USB port the USB-JTAG is $99.00 quantity 1

This seems like a *wonderful* card, until you also need ADC capability.
I will be having only a single PCI slot, and I would be interested in finding a card that has both digital i/o and at least 16 ADC channels.

Is there interest in similar device for 1/4 the cost ?
