New PCI Bus Pin



Bruce,

Isn't this function related to the ClockRun signal?  Would there be ANY way 
to share this between Wake and ClockRun?  Maybe, the board yanks on 
ClockRun to wake the bus if the bus is currently asleep.  Just a thought.

One of the problems we have with adding signals, is that all of the PCI 
Reserved pins are NOT 1 for 1 carried out the expansion bus on the back of 
our notebooks.  Since our docks are multi-generational, it is real hard to 
add a pin on the docking connector.  For example, previous generation docks 
(for the TM5000 notebook) work on the current generation notebooks (TM6000) 
and hopefully the next generation notebooks (no this isn't a product 
announcement, functional guarantee or anything else, just an engineering 
guess).

But if you actually add a Pin, sooner or later, we'd get it supported in 
"matching pair" notebooks - docks.
