Has anyone here designed a PCI Express card (Using gEDA / PCB or
otherwise?)

I see there are various options, such as FPGA with internal PHY /
SerDes, FPGA + external PHY / SerDes, PCIe <-> local bus bridge (e.g.
PLX's PEX 8311 chip).

I'm mainly curious as to what others have tried, and how tricky the
process was. I'm looking at doing one, and am starting to think I might
need to code support for differential traces in PCB ;).

Best wishes,

Peter
