rudi at asics dot ws:


Thank you very much on your supportive E-mail message. Actually, I would
like to put, with your permission, your E-mail (with this reply) on the

list, since it is very important for me to make our communication
accessible for those who might be interested to join our efforts. I hope
that our discussion will foster emerging of other projects that will put
engineers and developers together in creating open hardware projects.
However, we can work together or separately. Of course, we can work
together on developing digital interface for possible interconnections of
our open hardware devices.


If I can help you to start a, your own, project, for example, DSP Radio
PCI Card, please tell me. Your idea is (IMHO) great enough for
new card.... with some extra features and high performances, of
course... but, this still will be Radio Card.

My plan is to make expansion connector with a standard interface
(suggestion? Possible Wishbone... I don't know),
on the top of card. With flat cable, it will be possible to make
connection with your radio card, over digital interface, for mixing
purposes, etc.
At this point, it will be possible to connect video grabber cards, ATM
interfaces, or any other idea, without PCI interface and/or operating
system.
I think that all-in-one cards is very helpful for learning and testing,
but, this cards still not have professional value... because this is not
the target for
this cards, ...
My idea is to make open hardware cards with valuable professional
performances, but still DIYable.
Note that we have very small back plate for connectors, two D-SUB 25
(high density) is enough to
fill this small space.... antenna connector?
