Technical information

This appendix contains information that might be useful when installing your Matrox Meteor-II /1394.

Global information

■Operating systems: See your software manual for supported versions of Windows.

■System requirements: A computer with a PCI bus and a Pentium processor or equivalent.

Some older systems use a core logic chipset (interfaces PCI with Host memory) that has limited throughput capabilities. Matrox Meteor-II /1394 might not be able to attain full functionality on such systems. We recommend systems with newer PCI chipsets, such as the Intel 430HX, 430VX, 430TX, 440FX, 440LX, or 440BX. If you need more specific information regarding potential problems, refer to Appendix A - Troubleshooting.

■Technical features:

❐Supports up to 62 peripheral devices in a serial bus network.

❐Compliant with IEEE and OHCI specifications.

❐Supports data transfer rates of up to 400 Mbits per second.

❐Optional galvanic isolation barrier to prevent data loss and protect electronic equipment.
