Peter, is yours an actual Magma, or is it a...darn I can't remember the name. Magma made a less expensive unit with just three or four slots and a built in IDE bus on some. They were selling for $199 - $299 a year or two ago. They didn't have the Magma name on them, but the word was they were made by Magma. The reason I ask is that it was my understanding that those units did use a serial link from computer to chassis, but that the expensive Magma systems still used a full PCI bus link.
