Selfish PCI Cards

[GStevens@ontrack.com]

Greetings, PCI Community:

I am in search of PCI cards that tend to aggressively try to monopolize the PCI bus for long periods of time.  I am hoping that someone with experience in this area may have encountered one or more such "bus hogs" and would be willing to reveal specific card models or configurations that they have found to behave in this fashion.  My intent is to study the effect on various other parts of the system in the presence of such demanding PCI devices.

At your convenience,
