Re: PCI IO Buffers

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

If I understand your question, you want to put multiple PCI interfaces on a 
single board. This is not allowed by the PCI spec. The only way you can do 
this is to use a PCI-PCI bridge so that you have a second, electrically 
separate PCI bus on your board. There you may have a number of additional 
PCI devices.
