As PCI gains momentum as the preeminent backplane standard, suppliers of add-in cards of all types are rushing to get PCI versions to market. Continuing its drive to provide single-chip PCI interfaces for every market, PLX offers designers its PCI 9050 Bus Target Interface Chip for low cost adapters. The PCI 9050 provides a compact, high performance PCI bus target (slave) interface for adapter boards. It enables rapid, low cost conversion of Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) adapters to the PCI bus. The PCI 9050 accelerates I/O data movements on adapter boards from ISA°Os nominal bus speed of 8 MHz, 5 Mbytes/second to PCI°Os 33 MHz, 132 Mbytes/second data transfer capability For designers looking for a simple and painless way to convert their ISA adapters, PLX offers the PCI 9050 RDK! It includes a PCI board designed with the PCI 9050 chip, I/O daughter card connector for standard or custom functions, a breadboard area, test headers, and a piggyback ISA slot that enables existing ISA boards to be plugged into the PCI 9050 for software and hardware implementa- tion. The PCI 9050RDK also includes a set of development software tools, includ- ing PLXMon? for PCI bus monitoring and debug, and example serial/modem device drivers for Windows 95.?
