Hello,
The DOC carrier card is basically a PCI card. There is a socket for
the DOC to be plugged into on this board. Then, a DOS application on
the PC can be used to do a ton of different low-level twiddling on the
DOC. In some cases, I believe this is the ONLY way to do some of the
low-level operations needed.

We purchased one of these carrier cards and corresponding socket. I
think the total price was around $150 USD.
