How Well Does Magma Work? [message #74939]

I just discovered that two of the three PCI slots on my "new" PC are too short
to accomodate MY UAD-1s. So I am considering getting a (probablly used)
Magma box. This would use a PCI slot in the PC, not a PCIe slot.

Does this work well? Are there cable length restrictions?

Thanks

I have three Magma chassis, two 13 slot models and a 7 slot. They all just
work. My only complaint would be that the original fans are quite noisy.
IIRC, there are a couple different cable lengths, the longest being
something like three feet. You may find more about that at

Gary, I recently purchased a used "Avid PCI Extender" from Chris Ludwig and
it was a simple plug and play deal. I was apprehensive about IRQ conflicts,
but decided to just run Paris first to see what would happen before I tweaked
anything...it worked without my having to make any adjustments. I'm on Win98SE
with 3 EDS cards runninng in the chasis.
