Update: Following the overwhelming interest, I finally made a
2nd batch of
PCI PMC carriers.
Some people who bought cards from the first batch experienced problems when trying to use the cards in newer Mediators. I redesigned the power supply of the carriers to eliminate this problem. The carriers will now always deliver up to 10 A to the PPC cards, independent of your PCI bus board.
To summarize, while designing the cards, I followed three main goals:
- The carriers should strictly adhere to the PMC standard defined by IEEE and ANSI/VITA. I bought the necessary documents from these organizations and designed the carriers from scratch.
- Solid 3.3V power supply for the PPC, being able to deliver 10A constantly.
- Availability of components. I've learned in the past years that using components with sustained availability is essential. I tried my best to ensure future supply.
Following popular demand, the cards are now available in black only.
At the moment, I have
10 carriers available. More are in the works.
Please read the first post! Declare interest here (giving the number of carriers you need, if it's > 1), and follow up by writing me a PM with your location so I can give you a shipping quote.
Thanks!
