Pci to Pci transfers

[hsu@ocegr.fr (Herve Suquet)]

Hello PCI expert,



Some times ago I've posted an Email to have advise about PCi to Pci transfers

Here is a copy of the Email :

-----------------
I have in mind to perform direct transfers from 1 PCi master add-on board
to another Pi slave add-on boards (ie PCi to PCi transfers without any
system bus nor processor use).

Is it technically feasible ?

What precaution should I take ?
Is it supported by any kind of host bridge (Pentium Triton, triton2, Opti, Sys
Motorola MPC105 MPC106,...) ?

How is performed the arbitration is a such case ? 
----------------
I received two answers. One saying that it is obvious to do and without risks
and one saying that a lot of problem have to be faced-up making this
almost impossible to run on various PC platforms.

Between these two answers, where is the good one ?

With best regards,
Herve
