Will my luna II run on a G5?

Hi,

I was trying to find the specifications about PCI voltage of my Luna II but I couldn't find it so what I know until now is that G5 will only support 3.5 V PCI cards and not 5 V PCI cards so which is the voltage of my luna II?

Why does everyone keep changing voltages all the time? When I upgraded my PC last year I couldn't use my Matrox G400 anymore. This is really getting irritating.

Hi
There is an article in Sound on sound this month about the G5. It appears that most modern cards will be OK, but I think it is a 'try it and see' kind of thing, as no one wants to say it will work until it has been tried.

probably it won't fit because the Luna provides power for the external IO-Box via zlink and so might draw more than the required 3.3V for the sharcs.
It would be a real pity if the pass-through of some power would make the card not fit anymore (they are mechanically coded afaik), but I dunno for shure, as anyone else yet.

my 2 cents, Tom
