Hi, does anyone know if any of these pcie-pci adapter works with scope cards?

http://linitx.com/product/ablytech-pcie ... able/13518
http://www.startech.com/uk/Cards-Adapte ... d~PEX1PCI1
http://amfeltec.com/products/flexible-x ... i-adapter/
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product ... 69291.html

The first takes a floppy disk power cable, the 2nd a molex cable, the other two take hard disk power cables.
Are any likely to be enough power for one or two 14x dsp scope card?

Are there other such adapters that are known to work?

Thanks in advance, Tom

maybe they'll work for one card, but not for two. a Magma chassis will work, but you will experience drastically reduced PCI performance with any adaptor. also, a new Magma costs nearly as much as a new XITE. it will be much less expensive and trouble just finding a motherboard that works well with the cards.

I had some bad experience with PCI-e to PCI riser card. Scope was crashing like crazy. Probably not recommended.
