[-- Attachment #1 --] > Or, it could be that a UIO slot is specifically a PCI-Ex8 slot? You > can buy risers that convert "1U PCI-E (x16) to 1 UIO and 1 PCI-E " http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/UIO_cards.cfm This one actually says in the clear: "8-Lane PCI-Express interface (Supermicro UIO slot)" My guess is one of the following: * It means nothing but "PCI-E", and the UIO stuff is just marketing BS. * It means "extra PCI-E", and the UIO stuff is just marketing BS. * (Based on the grapical animation on the UIO page) They actually do have a special slot on their motherboard for use with their special UIO card which then provides a few extra PCI-E slots. The mentioning of UIO on pages describing standard PCI-E cards is just marketing BS resulting from the technically correct fact that they can be used with their UIO card. If I don't find specific information to the contrary I'll probably chance it and see. -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAkidRI4ACgkQDNor2+l1i33dUwCgkjdJj3SJPBpBaoFDq9OekHRX uyQAnAyZy5m0k/+d5xAgP+roFyzqns56 =TEVQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
