I have 2x PCIe X16 and 1x PCIe 1x slots that are not being used. Given that Linux has extensive hardware support, there are probably users with interesting PCI card usages
Aside from traditional usages like network/wireless/bluetooth/sound that can easily be used as USB (or built in advanced sound support in the MOBO), what are your use cases with PCIe?
I have an extra PCIe USB card I can use for Virtual machine pass through (sometimes it’s useful to be able to pass the entire controller instead of just a device).
I have an XTRX software defined radio.
I have an extra SATA/SAS HBA.
One day I’d love to get a rubidium timecard.
Mind sharing whhich situations would a timecard be useful ? Probably something that requires enhanced time precision, I just can’t figure it out
Satisfying my inner geek mostly. I’m also interested in external references for HAM radio and RF applications.
