Is there any thunderbolt card available for mac pro?

I have a blackmagic intensity extreme, which has thunderbolt port. But I am unable to use it with Mac Pro as there is no thunderbolt port on it. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Here's a clue at a Thunderbolt PCIe card that may be available for cpu's with an open 16x slot.
HP is now offering a Thunderbolt option for thier Z820 workstation model.
Actually, no. That computer was designed for thunderbolt from the start. It is a feature enabler card, not an expansion card.
I hope this will change soon, but not soon enough to hold my breath.
There will never be a thunderbolt card for Mac Pros.
Two reasons:
1- Even the 2012 Mac pro used 2 year old hardware, that means even the very last Mac Pro Apple sold last month used 3 year old technology. Its not economical to make new hardware for old technology in a very small market.
2- Thunderbolt communicates directly with the CPU, GPU and PCIe hardware. That means they have to be designed to communicate with the thunderbolt controller. Since thunderbolt was introduced in 2011, a full year after the last Mac Pro (5,1) was designed, its hardware has no possible way to communicate with it.
Thunderbolt is not  "an extension of the PCIe bus" like eSATA is an extension of SATA, its an entirely different communication protocol.
If it were just an extension, it would be far cheaper and easier to implement and there would be more than just a handful of products on the market that support it. Right now thunderbolt is making Firewire look like a runaway success!

    In your settings there is a section titled Accessibility - http://www.apple.com/accessibility/macosx/vision.html
    Have a loot there (things like voice over to read text).
    You might want to think about buying something though.  Dragon is the king of the hill for speech dictation and control - pair it with a decent USB headset and microphone (you can get really nice ones for $40-$70) and you almost never need touch the keyboard.

    While the built in OS X features are good, the commercial stuff goes a lot further, just something to think about (I have a dyslexic relative who uses dragon and thinks its amazing).

    There is program in the App Store called Bookpedia that seems tailor-made for your situation.

    Bento is another easy to use database solution.
    Or GoogleDocs has a spreadsheet application, free online, although not really specific to your application.
    If you really are using OS8.6, as your signature states, you may look for an old version of FileMaker on eBay.
    Good Hunting!

  • Is there any corporate database available for Multisim12?

    I'm trying Multisim12. Master database has a lot of components but I wonder there many simple and common ICs are missing while I have noticed that many of these components are readily available in Proteus etc.  I'm especially talking about CMOS 4000 Chips which are the building blocks of a medium level designs. Example includes CD40110, CD4063 etc. and a lot more. I don't meant to prove Multisim useless but just have to ask that:
    1. Is there any corporate database available that can be downloaded? or,
    2. Can I import Proteus components in to the Multisim?
    Please help me.   Thanks and regards.

    Hello,
    No we do not have a corporate database. The one you get has all the components available in Multisim (depends on the edition of course). CD40110 is a a simple decade counter right? You should find that under peripherals and indicators. The CD4063 is a comparator. You can find a 4 bit magnitude comparator in the CMOS section. These are the modls for simulation, if you want to create your own package and symbol you can (so you could potentially add CD40110 package to your schematic for routing purposes if you transfer your design to a layout tool). You could also create a component called CD4063 using the SPICE model from the CMOS comparator sections. I don't know what models Proteus uses, but if they are SPICE or PSPICE it should work.
    Kind regards,
