Alrighty then. The mobo is an ASUS A8V-Dlx. I've got 4 x UAD-1 cards in 13
slot Magma #1 with the host card in mobo PCI #4 with the UAD-1 cards in
Magma PCI slots #1, 5, 8 and 12. All 4 x UAD-1 cards are sharing IRQ 19 and
no other device is sharing IRQ 19. the host card for 13 slot Magma #2 is in
mobo PCI #3 and the 3 x Pulsar cards are in Magma PCI slots #1, 5 and 11 and
they are all sharing IRQ 18 and not sharing with any other device. Also,
there are some more wacked out possibilities with this system since in this
2nd chassis, PCI slot #10 is on IRQ 17 and so is mobo PCI slot #2 and this
IRQ is only shared with the LAN card which can be disabled so, in theory,
could be used for another Pulsar in the Magma or a PCI Firewire
card...............sorta' thinking Duende here, I imagine that my PCI bus
would likely scream for mercy......but who knows???...........this
definitely needs to be explored at some point
