Here's the Magma info from another thread on this forum:
*****************************************
Here's the Magma info in case you're interested:
You want either the 13 slot P13R or the 7 slot P7R4. With the 13 slot you'll also need a card that goes into the Magma chassis: PCIEIF68. That's the card that the cable attaches to on the Magma end. For the 7 slot Magma the cable connection on the Magma side is part of the chassis.
Other Magma chassis' look similar but might not fit the EDS card. I know for sure that some don't fit. The EDS card uses one of the earlier standards for a PCI card.
The cable you need is either the 1 m long CBL1HF or the 1.5 m long CBL1.5HF.
For the host computer you can get either a PCI or a PCIe card.
- PCI - PCIHIF68 (very similar number to the 13 slot Magma side card)
- PCIe - PEHIFX1
I got both for flexibility.
You can buy new at One Stop Systems for $2500, or go used on ebay for $300-500. I had to buy all the parts separately, and get the cable new.
No drivers were necessary. XP and Windows 10 recognized the hardware.
****************************************
There's a detailed description of the entire system with model numbers, prices, and the things I had to do to get it working. The thread name is: New PARIS System. The thread was started in January of 2020. There are a couple of other threads with some troubleshooting information close to this main thread. Honestly, the whole thing is not that hard to set-up. You will want Mike Audit's drivers.
Good luck. I'll watch more more questions.
