Communication Busses
-
I2C
-
SPI
(4-wire daisy chained SPI
is one of the few buses that does not require every node on the bus to have
a unique address, since each device is implicitly addressed by its position
along the length of the bus)

The difference between a "serial bus" and a "serial interface" and a "network
protocol" is blurring -- see network
protocols (TCP/IP, telephone, CANbus, ethernet, etc.),
serial IO (RS485, SPI, etc.).

Other PCI information:
-
AMCC makes a chip which provides an interface to PCI on one side and a fairly
simple generic interface on the other side. AMCC is in San Diego, California.
Their telephone number is (619)450-9333. The part number for the PCI interface
chip is S5933.
-
Ziatech, http://www.ziatech.com has
the CompactPCI spec in Acrobat. CompactPCI uses the PCI timing and pinout
with a eurocard format and connector.

Lost somewhere in the
sands of time was an interesting serial protocol used on TI graphing calculators.
There's plenty of good reference material on Google, but it basically worked
like this:
Two bidirectional lines with pull up resistors. The sender starts by pulling
one line low, the receive end acknowledges by pulling the other line low.
They both release and start again. Zero's and ones were signified by which
line the sender pulled low. Works _very_ well in a busy processor since every
bit waits for an ack. Data rate could be quite high with the addition of
interrupts if so inclined. Opto isolation may be more challenging, but seems
workable.+
