Hi Matthew, Sorry for the tardy reply. Your message got buried in my inbox... re: > Hello! How are you? Busy, busy, busy... re: > I've got a quick question for you. A while > back we talked about how you had bought some newer hardware for your > SDI systems that you folks have. Can you tell me more about what you > are running your SDI cards on (that do have the right PCI card slot - > 5 volts power, etc.) Mike bought an external box which has 5 volt PCI slots. I am CCing him on this reply so he can chime in with specifics of the box. The other option is to build your own PC (or rebuild an existing one) using a new motherboard that supports high speed processors, etc. AND has at least one 5V PCI slot. I know that these exist since Mike and I found one by doing some looking at motherboard manufacturers that we have used before. Building your own PC requires a small bit of work, but it is not hard, AND you save a lot of money. > and what version of Solaris x86 you are running > on them? We are running Solaris 10 on the machine we are using to ingest GOES-10 data. It seems to run the SDI code nicely. > Catch up with you soon! Sounds good. I again apologize for the late reply. > Thanks SO much! No worries.
