Re: Moving Legacy 100i 8.2.3 from G4 to G5?

Sooo, now it gets tricky ;-)

Depending on which G5 you bought you either have PCI-X or PCI-Express slots. If you have PCI-X you could be lucky and find a used expansion chassis cheap somewhere. We used to use them in Blue&White G3 days, since they did not have enough internal slots for the Media 100 boards.

If you have a G5 with PXI Express it is much more unlikely that you will find a cheap used expansion chassis.

Both G5 flavors can be used with Media 100 Suite (up to the latest release pre V2). Either as software only, or with boards that fit into the systems. For PCI-X systems there is the Media 100 HDx board, plus some Aja-based PCI-X boards, for the PCI express there are boards from Aja, Matrox and Blackmagic that can be used, depending on your budget and I/O needs.

If you get a license of Media 100 Suite, Boris Red is always included.
