I have a Delta 66 card. Just got a new G5 dual 2.0 GHz. Don't know if I can put the Delta-66 card in the PCI-X slot. I know that MOTU cards don't seem to work, and they have a fix for this problem. If M-Audio cards also don't work, has anyone heard of a fix and discount from M-Audio? I sentan email to them about 5 days ago, asking the same question, no response yet.

Quote from an M-Audio employee:
"The current line of Delta Series cards are not PCI-X compliant. We are in the process of modifying all Delta PCI cards to fit in G5 PCI-X slots. Until this modified version of the Delta Series is shipped, the only M-audio card that is currently PCI-X compliant is the Revolution card. Unfortunately, there is no estimation on the release date of the PCI-X compliant Delta Series cards. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter. We are working to make our devices compatible with all systems." |

Apple G5 compatibility and Delta PCI card upgrade program
M-Audio has been working directly with Apple to ensure that all of the company’s PCI-based products will be compatible with the PCI-X architecture introduced with the Power Mac G5. Delta models being redesigned for G5 compatibility include Audiophile 2496, Delta 1010, Delta 44, Delta 66, and Delta 1010LT. (The critically acclaimed Revolution 7.1 consumer surround sound card is already PCI-X compatible.) The original versions of M-Audio Delta cards operated on 5 volts as supplied by the original PCI bus standard. The newly revised cards are PCI 2.2 compliant (3.3 volts) and universally keyed, allowing compatibility with 64-bit PCI-X standards on all Power Mac G5s. On-board sensing technology will also allow the new Delta cards to be backwards compatible to work in 32-bit 5-volt PCI systems. All revised M-Audio cards will also be compatible with current and next generation Windows machines. Availability of each redesigned model will be announced on m-audio.com. Existing Delta owners can also receive upgrades to G5 compatibility immediately. If you purchased your Delta card on or after August 1, 2003, there is no charge to upgrade your card. In the United States, owners of Delta cards purchased prior to August 1, 2003 may upgrade their PCI for a fee of $49 plus tax, along with a $5 return shipping cost. Delta card owners living outside the United States may upgrade their PCI for a fee of $79, plus a flat $40 shipping rate, if they purchased it prior to August 1, 2003. The following cards are now being accepted for upgrades: • Delta 1010 • Delta 1010LT • Delta 66 • Delta 44 • Audiophile 24/96 To arrange for your upgrade, contact M-Audio via the following methods: * by phone at 626-445-8495 * by fax at 626-445-7564 * by email at PCIupdate@m-audio.com A return specialist will take all of your information, arrange for payment if necessary, and provide you with the required Return Authorization number. You will be asked to provide a copy of your dated sales receipt along with your card. |
