That RTAI is ported is a big plus. Two PCI slots are essential. (One for a graphics card, and one for parallel I/O, because there otherwise is none!!?) It has "VGA connector for resolutions up to 1280 x 1024", so on-board graphics would need to be nobbled. Two CAN opto-isolated interfaces would be superfluous. It's not necessarily the alternative that everyone would rush toward, I think. A small card with ethernet, parallel I/O, and preferably RS485, with floating point maths coprocessor, and a couple of PCI slots, is still the holy grail, I think. If it's economical, basic, and flexible, more of us can use it as the stone in stone soup.
