Naren,
Please take another look at the specs.  There are several important
differences between the PCI spec and the PCI-X spec so I would strongly
discourage using a generic PCI model for a PCI-X driver.

You can make a buffer model that covers the max and min conditions from
the spec.  Can you get the package models for your ASIC to use with the
buffer model?

Most GOOD system houses have faced conditions like this.  You start with
the appropriate (PCI VS PCI-X) "spec based" model until your ASIC
supplier gets their silicon finished and their model working and
correlated.  Then you continue to use your "spec based" models to test
for the range of things that can be plugged into your slots.

Good luck,

Naren,  I am sorry, but I don't see anything here to change my opinion.
