PCI Security Chip
This evening, I received a mail from a Chennai based computer firm. (GMail marked it as spam, but that’s a different story). Apparently they are manufacturing a security chip for the Windows environment which protects against virus, FDisk and low level formatting. This chip fits into a free PCI slot on the motherboard.
What intrigues me is the way this works (or is supposed to work, anyway). Is it even possible for a PCI device to control the IDE channel? Or would this work only with some specific interfaces?
Any answers from the hardware experts out there?
