-
- Newbridge is manufacturing a chip named Spanner and known as CA91C068. It provides
- a glueless interface to a 68040 bus. It can be used to build peripheral boards for
- PCI based machines; if you want to use the Spanner without any central arbitration,
- you will have to add some extra circuitry.
-
- Newbridge also provides two application notes in the User Manual which explain how
- to inteface to a 68360 and how to be a stand-alone PCI bus master (the 68040 needs
- to access the configuration space). Have a look at http://www.newbridge.com !
-
- The price of the Spanner is about $80 for samples.
-
- Have a nice day,
