You can do memory mapped I/O which is fast and simple. Physics cards are 
mostly PCI cards for speed reasons.
A hardware chess computer would best be done as pci card too, I guess. 
You could work towards hardware debugger capabilities using a compact 
NMI-Service Routine. for our purpose, both systems are eligible tho.   --Q
