Hi dave,

Hi LuJa,
This idea about KAD sounds interesting. I was also thinking on similar
lines. An open source design can really fuel more applications based
on it.

Did you make any progress so far? I would like to take a look at your
board design. What FPGA device are you planning to use? This KAD
should have some knowledge of the PCI and an ability to load the
design into FPGA. How do you plan to achieve it?

cheers,
Chandra.
