Re: card vendors

[Rick Collins - Arius <PCImail@arius.com>]

If you are talking about a standard PCI bus card, I don't think you will 
find a board with a processor on it. The PCIMG defines a passive backplane 
that supports processors on the plug in board. But this backplane has two 
connectors, one for ISA in the normal position, and one for PCI pushed 
further back along the card from the normal position.

So I don't think anyone makes an embedded CPU board for the standard PCI 
form factor with a passive backplane. The standard PCI bus boards all use a 
processor on the mother board.
