Default Digi would you perhapse lower the pci to pcie crossgrade prices?

Now when all the Mac HD PCI users are cornered, maybe it would be a good idea to lower the price of getting our systems current without taking our money to Magma?

I heard a rumor of the exact opposite. Exchange prices going UP Oct 1st. Have no idea if it's true of course, just a rumor.

When the demand is high prices go up. Pretty basic law of capitalism.

Or there might just be a PCIe Quad Accel card coming

Or new interfaces with built-in DSP

I don't have HD and I know the EOSS status of the chassis is being reconsidered but a improved PCI to PCIe trade in price would make a lot of sense in the big picture of moving PT forward.
