Bruce,
I agree with the need for power management support accross the PCI
connector. However, I think that need might also extend to activity
monitoring. I'm somewhat skeptical about OS-based power management
occurring overnight. If it takes a number of years before OS-based
power management becomes pervasive (in all OS's and in all systems
in use, not just shipping), then hardware activity monitoring over
the PCI connectory can be a valuable adjunct to the hardware-based
activity monitoring that is already occuring on the motherboard.
>From previous communications, it sounds like a specific reserved
pin is being targetted. Can that pin number be disclosed at this
time? I believe that there are other ECRs in progress that would
also redefine reserved pins. Can those pin numbers also be disclosed?
Thanks,
Frank
