4 Slot CardBus to PCI Expansion System
The Only True Desktop Replacement
A PCI Expansion solution allows you to add four
full-length PCI cards and four disk drives to notebook computers.
Add PCI Cards
Four
full-length 32-bit PCI slots increase the functionality of your notebook, and
enable PCI-based applications in various fields.
The Lifeline
MAGMA's
patented PCI Expansion Technology is incorporated into a Type II CardBus card,
which provides a 32-bit connection to your notebook, and extends the PCI bus
outside of your host computer. Our 1 to 1.5 meter flexible cable provides a
high-speed communication link between your notebook and our PCI Expansion
System.
Multiple Power Options
A
300 Watt AC power supply is standard, while an optional 275 Watt Silencer power
supply is available for noise sensitive applications.
Stay Cool
Cooling fans
provide optimal cooling to your cards and disk drives within the vented
enclosure.
Save Your Work
There
is room within the enclosure to mount one 5.25" removable disk drive and two
standard 3.5" x 1" disk drives, or mount four 3.5" x 1" disk drives to provide a
massive amount of storage space for your mobile computer.
Rack It or Stack It
Rugged black metal enclosure can be rack-mounted or stacked on a
tabletop. In a rack-mount configuration, the expansion system is only 2U high.
As a tabletop/desktop unit, it can be conveniently placed underneath your
notebook.
Where is your office located?
For some, it is in an office building. For others, it may be
in a van, tank, hotel room, studio, laboratory, or manufacturing plant.
Fortunately, today's mobile computers provide more performance and flexible
options for professionals that work outside of a typical office environment.
Unfortunately, there are a number of professionals that remain reliant on
traditional desktop or stationary systems, since notebooks still do not provide
the type of functionality required for their PCI-based applications...that is,
until now.
With the increased robustness of portable computers, MAGMA's
patented 4 Slot CardBus-to-PCI Expansion System eliminates the need for a
desktop or stationary computer, and provides mobility to demanding professionals
in numerous markets…even for their most challenging applications. Now you can use
your favorite laptop computer in the same capacity as you would use a full-size
desktop machine.
MAGMA's 4 Slot CardBus-to-PCI Expansion System accommodates
four full-length 32-bit or 64-bit PCI cards in a separate enclosure (chassis)
that connects to a PC notebook or Apple PowerBook (which do not have built-in
PCI slots) through a 32-bit CardBus slot. With MAGMA's patented PCI Expansion
Technology, everything installed in the enclosure actually acts as if it's
inside the notebook.
Although the 4 Slot expansion system is larger than
MAGMA's 2 Slot expansion system, the 4 slot has much to offer the demanding
portable user. Adding 4 full-length PCI slots and bracket for disk drives, this
expansion system provides all you need to take your high-end, full-blown desktop
computer system and make it portable.
