ok, first off im 24, (OT) 2nd, im looking for a microcontroller to "run-the-show" in a stereo im building, that utilizes a LCD screen, and a passive backplane: so what im looking for is to build a cpu card aka "single board computer" with a PIC controller, to blast text on the LCD and then control the DSP functions of another PCI card, (using the ADSP-2106x family) finally, it must be able to arbitrate, control, and be fast enough to run a PCI bus any suggestions? desade666 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
