The costs would increase correspondingly, and we highly doubt that the new funding goals would be met for such a venture. Additionally, some features could not be easily duplicated as the wiring is already embedded inside modern mainboard PCBs. For instance, it would be very difficult if not impossible to use the internal RS-232 interface over such a system, requiring that the PCIe card also emulate specific devices to the host system, and in turn that the host system would require card-specific drivers and OS configuration. Did I mention that this port would also be applicable to the KCMA-D8 and, theoretically, most of ASUS's v4 BMC boards?
