+3.3V should be created on the PWB using a regulator
I would like to comment that we do not believe a PCI board designer can
guarantee that +3.3V is provided from the backplane in any PCI-based system
that is not 66MHz. The motherboard may have the connections, and be v2.2
compliant, but it still is quite possible that the manufacturer of the
computer didn't attache a power supply to the motherboard.
For the present and into the near future, all PCI designs that are not
66MHz should create +3.3V from +5v/+12v using a regulator.
