Cheapest PCI prototyping?

[Bruce Ray]

Another (cheaper) PCI prototyping board is available from Quancom:

www.Quancom.com


 PCIPROTO - PCI Prototype Card with PCI Decoder chip

http://www.quancom.com/qprod01/eng/pb/pci_prototype_card.htm

No experience [yet] with it, just found it in our own internal 
investigations.
