Plus the I2O specification is about 1.5" thick and I2O is only supported by
one chip at the moment, the I960. Digital has already announced the 21285,
a StrongARM PCI support chip that as well as giving PCI access also includes
I2O hardware support. I2O is a standard, it is not Intel proprietary, and
there are a set of committees working away on various I2O stuff...
