How can i connect PCI Cards to my iMac ?

Hi there,
I wanted to buy some UAD(Plug-Ins) PCI cards for my Home Recording Studio, but as far as I know, there is no way I can expand my iMac in such a way.
Does anybody knows a way to insert/install/integrate a PCI/PCIe card to the iMac ?
Cheers!
PS. MacWorld is just days appart.... hopefully they will unveil a new iMac with a new motherboard and more possibilites to expand the system

It is not possible to add PCI cards to an iMac. If you need expansion of this type a Mac Pro would be the better choice as it has multiple slots.
There may be some sort of breakout box that you could attach but it is going to be real slow if anything is available at all and probably not fast enough for your audio work.

  • How Can I connect Epson R2880 printer to iMac Lion wirelessly

    Can i do this with USB Bluetooth adapter, do I need a special adapter for mac. well whae do i need . printer in next room

    HellO:
    I do not have an Epson printer.  However, I did look at their web site.  It "appears" that the printer has no built-in wireless connectivity.  However, I "think" you could set up a little wireless network with an Airport Express (see description on this web site).  Do some research before you spend any money.

  • How can I connect an ADC to an iMac G4 with mini-VGA port?

    I have an Apple Studio Display monitor that I want to connect to my iMac G4 that has a mini-VGA port. I have the ADC to DVI adapter, but cannot find any adapters that go from DVI to mini-VGA. Please help!
    I "inherited" these devices for work from a different university. They originally used the extra monitor with a PowerBook G4 that has a DVI port. But I would rather use it with the iMac - is it at all possible???
    Thanks!
    iMac PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   1.0 GHz 768MB DDR SDRAM

    Hi,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Depending on the age of the iMac G4 depends on what outputs are possible:
    700/800MHz - Mini VGA port to VGA port
    1.0/1.25GHz - Mini VGA port to VGA port or Mini VGA to S-Video/Composite.
    I'm not sure if the first revision of 1.0GHz iMac (Early 2003) fell in to the first category or the latter one.
    regardless... these adpators are available at theApple Store online for $19/£15. From there you'd need to find a VGA - DVI convertor and then the DVI to ADC convertor. Googling for such adaptors brings up several results.

  • No ISA slot available in PC. How can I use PCI-85 Modbus Plus card with Lookout?

    My application is to communicate with two Modicon PLCs using Modicon's ModBus Plus (PCI based PCI-85) network card inside my PC, and using Lookout as an SCADA software. Since there is no ISA slot available in new PCs, I can not use Modicon's ISA-85 Modbus Plus networc card. But Lookout does not support PCI based PCI-85 card, how can I use PCI-85 card then, with Lookout? Why doesn't Lookout support it? I asked the following question from from the Modicon's representative about it:
    If I purchase Modbus Plus Driver Suite CD (SWMXDS001, 05, or 10 etc),will I be able to use Lookout SCADA software (by the way, it supports standard MB+ prtocol) for my application? If yes, can I use any version of an
    y of the ISA, PCI, or PCMCIA based MB+ card?
    His answer was:
    The Modbus Plus Driver Suite will talk to any version of card, PCMCIA, ISA, and PCI. The question now is will the SCADA package you are
    planning on using be able to talk to the Modbus Plus Driver Suite? You must contact National Instruments and ask them if they support Modbus Plus, and if
    they used the MB+ system developement kit to develop their product. Or if they wrote their own MB+ drivers, do they work with Modicon hardware?

    Hi,
    currently Lookout does not support the PCI-85 card. The only card supported for Modbus Plus is SA-85. Please see for further information:
    Where can I Find Drivers for Communicating to PLCs, RTUs, and Other Industrial Hardware?
    How to configure the SA-85 card for Modbus Plus
    Hope this helps

  • I installed an airport card in my powermac g4, how do I connect to my router (not an airport base.) How can I connect to my router?

    I have a powermac g4 quicksilver in which I have installed a normal airport wireless card in the dedicated slot. How can I connect to my router? It is not an apple airbase station but does it need to be? How can I connect to my router?

    What encryption is the Rouer using? If WPA2 you likely can't.
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    What shows for Routers there? Or is Join Other Network availabe in 10.3.x?

  • I have a Rs232/Rs485 converter(CV 24).How can I connect it from a rs485 to a rs232 cable?

    I have a RS 485(8 serial outputs) and a motor with a rs232 cable. I don´t have a comunication between the motor and the card...also I have a rs232/rs485 converter. How can I connect the converter to the card. Give me all the possible solutions.

    Hey bubuse,
    First of all make sure your motor is RS232. If you are using one of NI's 8 port RS485 cards (http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=1846〈=US) it should include a dongle that takes the connector out to individual 9-pin dsub connectors.
    From there, most RS232 cables have 9-pin dsub connectors and the converter should just plug in between the cables. Here is a link that shows the pinouts and voltage differences of both protocols.
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371253a.pdf
    However, these devices rarely work well. If your motor is RS232 they I would suggest you purchase a RS232 board. NI has a new line of boards that are extremely fast and easy to use. They can hit custom baud rates and will show up as normal COM ports on your computer.
    In the long run you will have fewer problems.

  • How can I connect 1-wire sensor using DAQ?

    Hi,
    How can I connect 1-wire sensor using DIO in DAQ? I didn't find anything about it on this site.
    Thanks.

    Hello Depablo,
    When making any voltage measurement you need to provide two wires and signal and a reference voltage.  If you have a digital sensor or device with a number of outputs there should also be a reference or ground voltage output so that you're measurement device can read the correct value.  If you don't connect the ground/reference voltage to the DAQ device then you'll be measuring a floating voltage and it won't be accurate.  Voltage is a relative measurement--your sensor may be outputting 5 volts relative to its internal ground, but that ground may be 10 volts above your DAQ cards ground.  If you measure the 5 volt line with your DAQ card you'll read 15 volts and not 5 volts unless you also connect the sensors ground to the DAQ card.  If you're unsure which wire to use as a reference you can either contact your sensor manufacturer, or if you like you can post back with a link to your sensor's data sheet and I can see if I can identify the correct wire.
    I hope this helps, and have a great day!

  • How can I connect my 3gen apple tv with HDMI to my bush LCD32TV022HD which does not have an HDMI port but does have 1)S-Video I/P, 2)Video I/P, 3) L

    How can I connect my 3gen apple tv with HDMI to my BUSH LCD32TV022HD
    This does not have an HDMI port but does have:-
    1) S-Video I/P,
    2) Video I/P,
    3) Audio Input (Left & Right)
    4) Audio In jack (for VGA and DVI source)
    5) DVI input
    6) VGA input

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV doesn't officially support a DVI connection, however you may be able to get it to work. You will first need to check that your TV supports either 720p or 1080p as well as HDCP. If you are able to get the video working over the DVI connection, you may also require a DAC in order to connect with Apple TV's optical audio output to the TVs audio imput.
    You may well wish to make sure that the DVI connection works before spending any money on a DAC..

  • How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

    How can i remove a card from iTunes ?

    If you want to remove a credit/debit card from your account then on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link.  If you are doing it on your iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
    Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?
