Now this is interesting... PCI to NuBus.

I did not know this was possible, and is relevant to my interests.

Not even the fabulous (literally) NuBus90 at 20MHz caught up with PCI bus speeds, let alone ordinary 10MHz NuBus, but PCI/NuBus expansion was an inevitability given the investment that many professional users of the time had in their NuBus cards.

I never knew there were nubus controllers that connect to the PCI Bus.

Hm. Intresting.

Not even incredibly expensive, for someone local.

Somebody DO IT. Retail on the expansion chassis alone is* $2.5k

*more likely was. The website is still up, but hecknows if they're still making them.

Not even incredibly expensive, for someone local.
Given the amount of extras, it's a bargain. Stick a G4 in that puppy and watch it fly. Five PCI slots and two Nubus... MMmmm

Not that I'd waste the chassis on a mere Audiomedia II - a PCI card would match and surpass the functionality of that. In fact there is a PCI AMII - and unlike the Nubus version, you can record 4 simultaneous tracks with it (two through the digital ins) No, I'd be wrapping that up and stashing it safely till the day I get my hands on a Nuverb }🙂
