[Asterisk-Users] Motherboard compatibility with 6 PCI slots for TDM04B
Hi All, I would like to ask what model and brand of motherboard that can handle 4-6 PCI TDM04B without having a problem with IRQ etc. I would like to know your recomendations since I would like to connect my 20 ports FXS mobile trunk gateway. Best regards AstMania

The PM9600 (vintage model) has 6 PCI slots. Some of the more recent PM G4s have 4 or 5 PCI slots. No IRQ issues on Macs. see http://www.everymac.com for models and specs see http://www.yellowdoglinux.com for YDL rgds benjk -- Sunrise Telephone Systems, 9F Shibuya Daikyo Bldg., 1-13-5 Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

This configuration would only use one pci slot, and would allow greater expansion without new hardware and ease expansion when new hardware was needed (ie. you wouldn't necessarily need another pc).
