This is a neat solution as it allows PCI deployment where no PCI slot exists in the host PC.
However, for my next application I would rather the PCI card could run stand-alone, but unfortunately you must connect the PCI docking station to a laptop for the PCI bus signal which I think is just a clock signal (power is provided direct to the Docking Station).
Is anyone aware of a PCI housing that provides the bus signals without the need for a laptop ? Or could a PCB be added to replace the laptop?
