So I emailed emu asking if the EDS-1000 is 5 volt "KEYED" - note, that does
NOT say "Universal Keyed" - they actually responded within 24 hours! :0 (that's
me in shock)
This is a copy of the email:
"I am not sure, but I do believe that it is a keyed 5V PCI card. It did NOT
work in the more recent Mac systems."
Well, I guess that's as good as it gets and it's what I figured.
The reason this is relevant:
If you are planning to build a 'modern' computer and want to run the PARIS
in that system, be sure to Google "PCI 2.2" and take note of the backwards-compatibility
of 5 Volt KEYED Cards with PCI 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and now the final revision
3.0.
Otherwise, you'll prolly end up fusing your new Mobo!
And no, no - this did NOT happen to me, I did my research first to avoid
this.
Oh, and thank you to Aaron Allen and Don Nafe for responding to my first
post and trying to help!
