Certainly. The system I work with (which is not via based) has a PCI to PCI bridge, which is 208pins (it supports 10 bus master loads behind it). A cheap riser card that just does device number tricks will only work on boards designed to use a riser card done that particular way. -- Len Sorensen - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
