I'd like to run Digidesign 001 and Protools LE on a new G4 iMac but the hardware requires a PCI slot. Is there an adapter out there that allows an external PCI slot(s) via firewire or the USB ports or something else?
Will be forever indebted if there's a way!! Thankyou and looking forward to a million replies!! |

absolutely, firewire is currently the coolest.
 have to say though, i have used magma chassis with pro tools: fully digidesign endorsed, used with laptops, g4's etc. my other point is 'gonna have to be that digi 001 investment level dosen't compete too well with motu etc, maybe not the best solution at this level unless tihei is already using protools/needs it for project compatibility. oh yeah, that was your point lepetitmartien !  on the subject of expense, the average tdm/rtas plug costs almost as much as an expansion chassis !  surely a case of 'horses for courses:
