Topic: Difference between PC and Mac HDSP cards

I'm puzzled about someone selling an HDSP 9652 for Mac.
I thought it was the same card and different drivers. Is this the case?

Re: Difference between PC and Mac HDSP cards

Are you sure it's the HDSP 9652, not the old DIGI 9652? The DIGI card uses a different EPROM chip depending on whether it is used with Mac or PC. The HDSP card is indeed not platform specific (though on the Mac side only Power PC-based G4/G5 computers are supported).

Thanks for the reply Jeff.  Yes it states that it's an HDSP card.  Hmmm, seems to be a misnomer.
