It features high data throughput, cross-platform compatibility, plug and play specifications, and processor independence. I have been searching to no avail for an address or contact for the PCI SIG from which I can get the specific information I need. While PDI cannot answer your questions about vendors and products, you may want to check out Intel's Web site, which has more PCI information. Visit the PCI Sig Home Page for more information. The PCI specification is still evolving and formalized compatibility testing is just getting started.
Computer manufacturers have many different models and are continually introducing new ones.
It is possible that not all models from a compliant manufacturer are compatible, but it is also equally likely that there are PCI-compliant machines that are compatible that have not yet been tested. If your application requires bus mastering, you may want to evaluate different PCI PC models. PCI systems vary some in their implementation and are tuned differently to favor different types of data transfers. As for our own PCI framegrabbers, PDI has ensured that our PCI bus interface is compliant with the PCI specification. PDI Image Capture with PCI was found to be compliant with a number of manufacturers of PCI motherboards, chipsets and system BIOSs.
