RE: Debugging the linuxBIOS code

[Colin Hall]

      Adam,

My board has a 3v3-only PCI bus, so I have the same requirement. The cards I
have considered are listed below. My understanding is that the Micro-2000
POST-Probe [5] is the only one that can be powered from 3v3. It does not
meet your price point, I'm afraid.

I am about to place an order for the rather expensive Micro-2000 POST-Probe,
so anyone who can recommend something cheaper for a 3v3-only bus would be
doing me a great favour.

Best Regards,
Colin.

 Speaking of which. Does anyone know 3.3V PORT-80 PCI cards 
 instead of your
 usual 5V ? (and preferably does not cost $100 either).

call me stupid, but where does it say it is an 3.3V?

in fact looking at pinout of PCI interface in their manual it seems to me
like it is 5V card.

an 3.3V card will have Pins A1 and B1 on the same side that "noth" is. See

	http://www.interfacemasters.com/images/P_MINIPCI_TO_PCI_01.jpg

yet on page 271 of http://micro2000.com/downloads/PPMan.pdf it is other
way around.

  It does not meet your price point, I'm afraid.
It is mostly disgust with price googuing sicne I'm told you can get reular
Port-80 card for $3. (at china).

      Maybe the New FAQ Guy can add that previous message about POST cards :-)

      Hello again from Gregg C Levine
Peter that is a good observation. A decidedly good one. Colin,
regarding your disclaimer, is it possible to have it disabled for
traffic on whatever mailing lists that you belong to? Or at least have
a disclaimer of your own inserted, stating that it is company policy
to use, and not yours?
