Re: PCI through cable ....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ivor Bowden <ivor@peritek.com>]

I've used a variety of extender cards, sometimes even doubling
them, without any problems on standard PC 33MHz PCI bus machines.
Not sure about cable though, I suppose it would work if the
impedance and crosstalk were controlled. Why are you using a
cable instead of a PCB for the bus extension? A PCB extender card
should offer better power and signal integrity.

through a cable for a temporary test setup. No heavy traffic is expected
through this, but few 100s of Bytes per second. Any of U had any such
previous experience ? Will it work at 33MHz speed ? Any serious problem can
be there with CLK due to long line ? Any comments/advice/good wishes ?
