 ah i meant put them onto really small expansion header, which could
run them off to a motherboard, then that has standard PCIe.

 _but_, if people do not want that, just want a small powerful
low-power server, they can have that as well.

 precisely!

 yes, best to wait for the Zynq 7030 for that.

 sounds great!
