hey there
here's some support from a studio engineer and producer. if you can afford
this kind of technology, there is a system which allows PCI based cards to
work on any macbook, mac book pro and mac Pro system, G4 and G5 systems as
well. its the Magma Chassis from digidesign. they are producing the PCI express
card for the new macs now. basically there are several models of magma
chassis from a single PCI card mount to 13 card mounts in a few differing
chassis
designs. the systems run on their own standard power supply and data is taken
via either a PCMCIA card for laptops or a PCI/PCI express card for the
towers or desktops. so basically you can run mac compatible PCI cards without
a
problem
the primary focus here is driver and software support. Terratec aren't the
best for mac use so its best considering going M-audio delta 1010LT cards as
they are mac compatible and are small form factor cards.
sadly most motherboards for new PCs are going PCI express or micro PCI as a
new standard with the mini ITX boards like found on the IMac.
if you need any more info on the magma chassis go to _www.digidesign.com_
