no pci-x thunderbolt :(

[James Drake]

We will not have a PCI-X Thunderbolt product this year. There are
issues with PCI or PCI-X working with Thunderbolt, so we are not sure if
such a product will even be possible.

from magma.

this makes me a sad panda

Magma tied at the hip with Avid.........

Noooo!!!! Come on Magma, don't give up so easy.

one thing i thought.

there is already a working pci-x chassis that you can plug into a macpro with a pcie host card.

there seems to be simple external boxes for one pcie card that connects via thunderbolt, or that chassis for a mac mini which includes one pcie slot.

what happens if you go like this?
pci-x > magma chassis > pcie card > thunderbolt > mac mini

lacie also makes an eSata to thunderbolt hub. if you have a pci-x eSATA card you could use peripherals with thunderbolt connectors. not sure the ultimate goal of this thread, but there's another option to put in the loop.
