Reccomended pci cage...

Post by arsis »

I know nothing about the pci cages except that I need one. Brand, source ect. I have a G4 dual 867 running DP5. I have two uad-1 cards and want to add two more. Any help would be appreciated.

I do not use any UAD cards but a Dual 867 has 4 available PCI slots. I am not sure if there would be any power supply issues. I assume by "cage" you mean an external PCI expansion device. Keep in mind such a device will tap into the same PCI bandwidth as having 4 UAD cards in the G4.

I guess I am not sure why you need one when your interface is firewire based and the G4 has 4 slots.

magma makes a line of pci expansion chassis:

however, your machine should have 4 slots available. what else are you running on the pci bus beyond the two uad-1 cards?
