Hello everyone.
I am not sure where to begin so let me know start with the following. I would like to know if its possible to design a cheap integrated card that I can program to analyze what is happening on a computer motherboard bus ? I would like to be able to capture all data transmissions which are transmitted on a motherboard so that I can use it as a diagnostic reporter or troubleshooter. Please I really don't wish to purchase a PC Diagnostic Card because that is not my area of interest of troubleshooting boot up issues. I was thinking that it should be card that can be installed in a PCI slot. Where would someone buy the components from and how would I be able to program the controller ?
I would appreciate all suggestions but keep in mind your talking to someone who knows nothing on how IC works let alone programming a microcontroller.
I hope I have made myself clear and if not please let me know and I will gladly try to explain it again. Thanks for taking the time to read this post.
