not enough pci slots
is there a way of getting more than 3 pci slots on a g5mac.
Years ago avid supplied a pci extenderbox to allow all of the cards needed to run an avid.
I have a decklink, sata card, fw card and scsi card, and I canniot have all installed at the same time.
Does any one out there know if There are pci extenders on the market, and if so will it work with a g5 and FCP.yours

FYI, for those who want to keep using their perfectly fine PCI-X and PCI cards, SBS makes a PCIe-to-PCIX expansion chassis. We’ve tested it and it works great.Jeff
