All PCI slots in Macs are Busmaster slots. The term "busmaster" has been extensively misused, especially on XLR8yourmac.com and at macgurus.com (otherwise excellent sources of information) which leads folks to the mistaken impression that only the first PCI slot or first and fourth in 9500, are busmaster. But rest assured, every PCI slot in any Mac is a bus mastering slot--even the slots behind the PCI-PCI Bridge in our S900s and J700s. Your PCI cards may fail to work, but it won't be caused by the lack of the bus mastering feature. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
