Do you know a free and open-source bus (like the PCI-bus, which is not free at all), which can be found in real world and that works well with Suse ?

Could you be more specific. Do you mean the connectors or the pinout/voltages? There are a number of connection standards based around the DIN41612 style two-part connectors. There's also a boundary between totally free and 'free to use provided you adhere to the registered standard'. The latter applies, for example, to many things in engineering such as screw threads. http://openhpsdr.org/atlas.php <quote src="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_41612"> The most widely known use of DIN 41612 connectors is in the VMEbus system. They were also used by NuBus. The standard has subsequently been upgraded to international standards IEC 60603-2 and EN 60603-2. DIN 41612 connectors are used in STEbus,[1] Futurebus, VMEbus, Multibus II, NuBus, VXI Bus,[2] eurocard TRAM motherboards,[3] and Europe Card Bus, all of which typically use male DIN 41612 connectors on Eurocards plugged into female DIN 41612 on the backplane in a 19-inch rack chassis. </quote> You'll have to see the wikipedia article for links to see of those "standards" are "open", for whatever value of "open" is pertinent to you. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
