[raw]

I am looking to upgrade from G5 HD 3 Accel PCIe to 8 core 3.2GHz Mac Pro. I want to mix the PCIe Accel cards with UAD-1e cards in an expansion chassis. I got the following info from Magma today - perhaps this might help you (or not):

"...The [Digidesign qualification] testing is going very well with the EB7 – taking a little bit more time than we hoped, but everything is going very well. We have many customers using this solution, as well as the newest released 4 Slot (EB4) with both ProTools and UAD cards without problems. Here are the part number and prices for your reference:

EB4 – 4 Slot PCI Express to PCI Express expansion system
EB7 – 7 Slot PCI Express to PCI Express expansion system..."

I am nervous about the lack of official Digi qualification, and also about UAD-1e latency in PT. I guess I will find out the hard way.

HTH.
