Topic: RayDAT: Mac Pro 2019 PCI Slot?

My old Mac Pro died. Just got the new one.  Is my 10 year old RayDAT compatible with the new Mac Pro 2019?  If so, which PCI slot do you guys recommend.  All help is appreciated!

Technically it will work. But we got mixed (to say it positively) feedback about the new Mac Pro's audio performance, so just try it.

Re: RayDAT: Mac Pro 2019 PCI Slot?

Thanks for your prompt response MC!  I found my own answer regarding which slot to use.  There are 8/16-lane PCIe slots available inside the new Mac Pro.  Since the RayDAT is a single lane card, the x16 slots would be wasted on it.  That leaves the x8 slots.  Of those only slots 6 and 7 are single-wide.  So I'm choosing slot 6.
