There's only one person day dreaming here...

This web site is in German only but I spoke to the guy and supposedly it runs with PT HD Cards.

I am going to get one and test it...

Finally a competition to the totally over priced Magma BS...

Here's the link:


$290 Expansion Chassis




32bit and 250mb/sec

Magma 64bit 512mb/sec

If that thing actually works with a PT 4 accel rig i'll eat my mouse live on Youtube

Chris
I have to spend a couple of days in Brighton this month actually !..I'm volunteering to video Chris's mouse eating activities should the wretched chassis actually work

While you have his ear, tell him about the potential with folks for whom four slots aren’t enough — then we’d be cooking with gas.

Many thanks.

Holy crap. That would be awesome if it works with the HD cards. Seems like a longshot at this point, but I'll be watching. I hate to fork over $3K extra for the PCI exchange when I'm ready to move to a current Mac.

You can use 32bit chassis with HD, but you will not get full track count.

Yes it would be a godsend.

I really hope it doesn't work. I've never seen someone eat a mouse before. A few gerbils, but that was a while ago... and it involved other ingredients, such as duct tape.
