So this one seems a bit less well thought out.  How are you defining
"peripheral interface"?  How is it that PCI qualifies but, say, PCMCIA
does not?  In a real sense, most of our interfaces deal with peripherals
in one way or another.

Were you thinking maybe of "bus interfaces"?  If so, a somewhat
different selection would be indicated.

Thanks,
