Dave,

Well sure, only this is no help to the small guys. I am pretty sure
they'll survive this and other rods in the wheels. One may (does) choose
side in this everlasting conflict.

Does the CPLD have to clock the bus?

As I mentioned earler, my usage of PCI is non-standard so
I won't claim (nor am I after) 100% compliance. At the very
least, my connectors are different.
So far I have an MPC8240 processor, a display controller and
a bridge to an older system on my bus; a DSP with a coolrunner
CPLD between its HPI and the PCI will come soon. I'll put some
sample designs on our www site along with the logic compiler
soon.
