TC,
why doesn´t it work when you plug the EDS directly on the mainboard of the
Mac?
(I heard anywhere that the EDS is PCI and the Mac supports only PCI express,
or so... is that true?)

Hi Micha,
That's correct. I use a virtuavia 4 slot Pci -> Pcie expansion chassis.
Virtuavia Pcie host card in the mac pro, 4 eds cards in the chassis.
Cheers,
TC

Hey TC! Have you had any trouble with the power supply on the virtuavia?
Some people here thought the power supply was too small.

That's the one.. I put it in a rackmount ATX case with a beefy power
supply and a speed switchable fan. It runs very quiet.
Cheers,

Hi James,
I got the version Micha referenced above and put it in an atx case with
a 500W power supply.
I wouldn't have trusted that other little box that they have. Best thing
is to just get the host card/board and use your own case/psu.
Cheers,
TC
