There is a significant effort to convert all 2.0 compliant
devices to 2.1. Most PCI bridges are changing faster than the
I/O cards available in the market. My understanding is that
full target/initiator cards that are 2.1 compliant are backward
compatible with the CPU-PCI bridges that are 2.0 compliant.
However, is the reverse condition a true statement. Can a full
master card that is 2.0 compliant run in an environment
that has a 2.1 compliant CPU-PCI bridge? Are there any issues
with the bus latency problems? I can not find anything about
this in the spec.
Thanks, FK
