RE: PCI-X

[KC Chang <kc.chang@tundra.com> (by way of Daniel Weaver <dan.weaver@znyx.com>)]

Michael,

There is a subcommittee working on an ECR to adopt PCI-X in CompactPCI.
This effort is headed by Dick Somes, CTO of PICMG.  In addition, Tundra
Semiconductor will be coming out with a P2P bridge (Tsi320) that supports
PCI-X protocol.  Hence, you can potentially implement CompactPCI board now
and later migrate to "CompactPCI-X" without modifying the hardware.

If you are interested  in finding out more, please  visit www.tundra.com.

Best regards,


KC Chang
