Cheapest PCI prototyping?

[J.C. Wren]

    Don't know about cheapest, but it's one.  I doubt you'll find 
anything under $100 simply because making small runs of PCI cards is 
expensive (multi-layer, beveled slot edge, none-rectangular route).  
Google has a number of hits for "pci fpga prototype".

    Somewhere I swear I saw a PCI card that had a minimal FPGA for the 
bus interface, and a reasonable prototyping area.  It struck me as odd 
that someone would want to use 0.1" centered proto area, since there are 
very few chips one would want to use on a PCI bus that are available in DIP.
