 		 #183779 - Serial -> buffers on adapter boards is a potential solution
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I don't have enough CAN controllers - or fast enough ones - to do 10Mbit/s.

SPI would be fast enough. But as noted earlier - I don't own the targets, so can't redesign them. And there are many (!) different targets, so very expensive to redesign them. The flat ribbon interface must remain.

The parallel I/O buffers route would mean one adapter card/target type. Serial links + power to the adapters, and then basically plug the adapter on the ribbon-cable connector of the targets. It is a potential solution if there is space enough for the adapters.
