MAC G5 and MOTU NIGHTMARE - 2009/06/20 23:09 Been trying to build studio for years. Every year I save to purchase a used piece of equipment. I have a G4 dual 500 mhz, and also a Motu pci 324 card. This year saved and saved and got a G5 dual 2 ghz model number a-1047. I checked all the specs and no problem. SO the other night I tried installing the 324 card in the G5. Both pci x right? Nope wrong. After many hours I finally found out that Motu changed the PCI cards shape. SO I have 2 questions. Which one would work in the G5. There seems to be alot of confusion out there. Is it a pcix? or a pcie or what? Or better off and what Id really like to do is just install the card in the G4 where it fits and then ethernet it to my G5. I posted this question a few places and no one has responded. So I am asking errr begging. Can I slave the 2 macs together and save myself having to purchase a new Motu card for $300. Does anyone know if this will work? Someone? Anyone? Anxiously await replies. Edwood69
