This is an extremely old design you are looking at. At least 10 years old.
Of course you can interface with PCI. You just do it. You can interface

with anything. Take the MADIface for example - one Spartan 3, one flash,

finished. From PCIe to MADI out everything in a small gum strip.
Please check out the Xilinx application note library to see what else is

possible, and why you want FPGAs in your circuits.
