> Jean, you might want an evaluation board? Possible, I don't know how it usually works. What are these evalutation boards? Minimalistic PC mainboards? Specific PCI cards? External devices you can plug on an existing system using the parallel, serial or USB port? I'm kind of new to this. So far, I've only been working on devices found on my own PC hardware - or ones I didn't even owned. So, any insight will be welcome. Thanks. -- Jean Delvare http://www.ensicaen.ismra.fr/~delvare/
