The Digium shop (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://store.yahoo.com/asteriskpbx/newitd1pofxo.html">http://store.yahoo.com/asteriskpbx/newitd1pofxo.html</a>)
says that I must have PCI 2.2 to make use of the card, so that probably
rules out the current machine I'm using, which is an old Pentium II
300-ish. I don't really know how to tell which PCI version that server
is using, but I doubt that it's up to date.
Someone on IRC once pointed out the conflict between "suggested" and
"must" on a similar page and said that their TDM400P (FXS-only at the
time) was working on a PCI 2.1 system. Can anyone confirm whether a
PCI 2.2 bus is mandatory? Perhaps I need to throw the server out along
with the X101P card before I can order a TDM400P and a shiny new FXO
module.
The same Digium shop page suggests that two PCI slots would be required.
I'll assume the card is too fat, with the daughter board(s) fitted, to
fit into a single slot.
The "BT CD50 and soldering iron" plan is looking more and more like the
one I'll be going with for now. If anyone has a pre-modified (and working)
BT CD50, or similar, and would like to sell it to me then please feel
free to email me off-list, otherwise I'll order the parts and have a go
myself.

I bought the TDM11B (TDM400P with 1 FXS and 1 FXO module) and put it in
last week. Works great and my system is a Dual PPro MB (dual PII
333Mhz Overdrive processors installed) w/ a PCI 2.1 bus. I was
planning on using it as an excuse to upgrade the system, but now I
don't have to.<br>
<br>
the PCI sig states that PCI 2.2 was a clarification revision as well as
adding a standard for 3.3v operation (The TDM400P is a universal
card). I would expect that with PCI 2.1 it may or may not work and I
wouldn't expect them to take it as a return or support it.<br>
