My idea is to interface it externally. I have bought a CF card reader. PMI but what has CF got to do with CI? 

Thanks. Am I barking up the wrong tree by any chance?

My idea is to interface things using the PCI and USB bus. I plug in a USB CF card reader, decrypt the data from CAM and talk to the budget card using the PCI bus.

Does it make sense or nonsense?

Please trash me if I am talking bullshit. ;-)
