Rob,

When/if you try this, I'd like to know how well it works. I would be using this card with a Mac Pro running PTHD, and UAD PCI cards. What system are you tempted to try this with?

It is supposedly a PCIe host card to be installed into your computer that connects up to the the same cable/multipin connector that goes between your computer's standard PCI host card, & PCI expansion chassis. 'Jill' says that you can hook this up to a non-64bit chassis(in my case a 13slot expansion chassis), & it will work just fine. But, call Magma at 800.285.8990 to verify this, and this especially for your particular application.
