Sometimes I really miss the old days of ISA cards :-(.
Building an adequate environment for simulation/development is something I
have struggled with too for the development of YAFFS.
Why not just use nandsim. Just create a 128MB or whatever lump of "NAND" in
RAM. Adding an extra SIM of RAM to your system will be a lot cheaper and
easier.
Someone on mtd list also built a simple board that attaches NAND to the IDE
disk interface. Seems a lot simpler than messing about with PCI.
Another alternative is to use a parallel card interface. This will be a bit
slower though.
If you really want to do a PCI card, then you might find something like a
Xilinx or similar PCI evaluation board makes the job simpler.
