Given that PCIe cards will have their own independent busses, it will
offer a lot of advantages over the PCI, and even firewire when using
multiple devices. I would LIKE to get the PCIe version of the AES-32,
and if I need to send it to somebody to play around with for a month
or two to get it working, so be it.
