Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PCI slot for?

HomeSeer: FAQs: HomeSeer HomeTroller™
The system includes one PCI slot, which may be used for any standard PCI card. Our HomeSeer PCI modem may be installed in this slot for telephone messaging and voice command support. The PCI modem may be purchased at a special discount when ordering the unit.

Can I install my VT[4] card in a PCI-X slot?

NewTek - Support
The K calls mean that there has been an error communicating with the VT card for some reason (Direct Memory Access has stopped.) You can try to fix this by powering off your machine and re-starting it, but it will likely require sending the card back to NewTek for a core re-write. Check your preferences and make sure they are set correctly. This will be listed under AudioVideo for Output mode. If you want to use YC then change it to YC. If Component change it to Component video.

How does SLI work on PCI Express?

FAQ
SLI is designed for PCI Express. This new bus has superior bandwidth (two to four times AGP 8X), support for isochronous data transport, and the capability to drive multiple high-speed graphics devices. AGP 8X was limited to one high-speed graphics device and was not a good candidate for SLI.

Is X-Cart PCI/CISP certified?

X-Cart: Frequently asked questions
The short answer is no. But the thing is that it's not supposed to be a PCI/CISP certified product itself since X-Cart is neither a payment gateway, nor a financial organization charging credit cards, nor is it a hosted e-commerce solution. X-Cart is a standalone e-commerce application which can be integrated with any of supported payment gateways and used on any compatible hosting server.

Will the Vodafone HSDPA/3G Broadband Datacard or USB Modem work in an Express Card slot?

Vodafone HSDPA/3G Data Card - Start up Guide
Some recently introduced laptops are equipped with the new ???Express Card' slot. There is no card available at the moment for Express Card slots. The USB Modem however will work with all laptops that support USB.

Q1: What is PCI Express? architecture?

PCI-SIG - FAQ - PCI Express
A1: PCI Express architecture is an industry standard high-performance, general-purpose serial I/O interconnect designed for use in enterprise, desktop, mobile, communications and embedded platforms.

Q6: What is PCI Express ExpressModule?

PCI-SIG - FAQ - PCI Express
A6: The ExpressModule? Specification is a new PCI Express modular form factor defined for Servers & Workstations. Its ease-of-use packaging and integrated features provide benefits to many customers and system integrators (OEM, IHV, VAR and End-users). The ExpressModule enables and promotes fundamental improvements in the way Servers & Workstations are built and serviced.

Q3. What is PCI Express?

welcome
A3. PCI Express is a new serial I/O technology compatible with the current PCI software environment that offers low-cost, scalable performance for the next generation of computing and communications platforms. It promises performance scalability for the next decade.

Can I run both 32-bit and 64-bit PCI / PCI-X cards on the dual PCI-X mid-plane?

NextComputing - Frequently Asked Questions
PCI-X is backward compatible to support virtually any PCI card (except older legacy 5V 32-bit cards). In the dual PCI-X mid-plane, both cards can run up to the speed of the slowest card. For example, in a configuration with one 32-bit/33MHz PCI card and one 64-bit/66MHz PCI-X card, the speed would be "auto-negotiated" and both cards would run at 33MHz.

Why only 1 PCI slot in the C series?

XPC FAQ
PCI has been and will continue to be a solid interface for getting data in and out of your computer. However, when developing a product you try to look ahead as much as possible. Looking ahead, it is clear that more and more high quality audio and MIDI devices will be available that interface through the IEEE1394 [Firewire] port and the USB 2.0 ports. It's a virtual certainty that there will be more USB and Firewire devices than PCI devices in the near future.

How does StarGPS-NX work?

F.A.Q.
StarGPS-NX is designed for use with Celestron, Meade and other GoTo controlled telescopes that understand the Celestron NexStar Communications Protocol, Meade LX200 commands, Synta Binary data or NMEA 0183 data. The included GPS-NX01 receiver automatically determines the telescope type and then sends NexStar, LX200, Synta or NMEA data directly to your telescope to set the date, time, latitude and longitude.

Why does my 3Com® PCI network card not work with my Micron computer?

Frequently Asked Questions for FreeBSD 2.X, 3.X, 4.X and 5.X
Certain Micron motherboards have a non-conforming PCI BIOS implementation that does not configure PCI devices at the addresses reported. This causes grief when FreeBSD boots. More information on this problem is available at URL: http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html#micron Yes. SMP is not enabled in the GENERIC kernel, so you must recompile your kernel to enable SMP. Take a look at /sys/i386/conf/LINT to learn what options to put in your kernel config file.

Q2: What prompted the need for another generation of PCI Express (PCIe?)?

PCI-SIG - FAQ - PCI Express 2.0
A2: The PCIe 1.1 specification was developed to meet the needs of most I/O platforms. However a few applications, such as graphics, continue to require more bandwidth in order to enrich user experiences. PCI-SIG also saw the opportunity to add new functional enhancements (listed below), as well as incorporate all edits it had received to the PCIe 1.1 spec (via ECNs). In response to these needs, PCI-SIG developed PCI Express 2.0 (PCIe 2.0).

Q4: What and how many PCI Express architecture specifications are there?

PCI-SIG - FAQ - PCI Express
PCI Express Base Specification: the core specification for the multi-layered PCI Express architecture. It is currently at revision 1.1. PCI Express Card Electromechanical Specification: the ATX-based form factors. It is currently at revision 1.1. PCI Express Mini Card Electromechanical Specification: the BTO/CTO mobile platform form factor. It is currently at revision 1.1.

Q4: Will the 3ware Sidecar work on Apple Power Mac G5's with PCI-X slots?

welcome
A4. No. The 3ware Sidecar is a PCI Express solution only. The RAID controller can only be installed into PCI Express slots only.

Can this work in a 64-bit slot?

Pericom - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - By Product Fam...
Yes, you can plug it in a 64-bit slot. The system will automatically resize the slot to 32-bit, all transfers will occur at 32-bit data width.

How does (defun car (x) (car x)) work?

Frequently Asked Questions for comp.lang.lisp
This code is probably part of the source to a lisp compiler, which knows how to open-code calls to CAR. However, the interpreter also needs to know how to call CAR, which is what the above defun is doing. This is not recommended in user code... This question is usually motivated by the existence of labels, which is a similar form for binding functions, but also allows mutual recursion between the functions being bound. Given this, it is perhaps natural to question the utility of flet.

QUESTION: Can I plug a 5Volt PCI card into a PCI2.3 compatible slot?

SCSI FAQ - Editor Gary Field
The latest revision of the PCI specification (2.3) includes an important change that is rarely, if ever mentioned, in various PC magazines. I was completely unaware of this, so I thought I'd mention it to save others some hassle. It turns out that several years ago, with the advent of PCI 2.1, *two* different voltage card types were supported: traditional 5v If you are buying equipment, you would be well served to ask about this. There are only a few 3.
