I'll try to get the damn thing working first thank you very much. :)

7 people have said that they want one *now* and a few more who want a  
bare PCB so they can put their own components on it. But that's over  
a period of well over 2 months and I haven't updated the site or  
anything for even longer. I did this quick calculation as to how much  
it would cost roughly for a very low count batch and a few people  
apparently thought that was affordable.

Right now however every motherboard I try the card on dies after  
about a dozen PCI instructions so I think I got a dead IO pin or  
seriously screwed something up. I'm not going to make more  
potentially-dead prototypes until I figured that out.

Just a (semi-) random question, does the card have a CE stamp and it  
is tested for EMC and such?

Cheers,
