Topic: RME Hammerfall HDSP 9652 PCI Rev 1.7 on newer Macbook

Hey guys, how are you?

Long time RME user here. UCX most of the time!

I´m planning to add a second rig using my 9652 PCI (not pcie).
Is there any way to use it on newer Macbooks (15" Mid 2014 on Mojave to be precise)?

Ideas?

Cheers!

J.

Get an external TB to PCI expansion chassis.

Can´t seem to find a PCI (non pcie) to TB chassis.

Something like this with a pci to pcie adapter maybe? Any compatibility-stability issues to be aware of? Thanks!

Ok, I´m pretty lost...
I was looking for PCI to PCIe adapters, but this 9652s PCI port has 3 slots (instead of 2)?

If someone can shed some light on this topic for me, I´d really appreciate it... Thanks!

OK. Adapter ordered. Thanks so much!
What´s the lastest OSX driver for the HFall 9652? I´m trying to avoid doing the bootcamp/windows thing...
