ASUS MediaBus Card
MediaBus allows a cost-efficient solution to a complete multimedia system. The
advantages of using one add-on card is to reduce the slot requirements and compat-
ibility problems in order to maximize the Plug and Play advantages. The add-on
card inserts into the shared PCI 4 / MediaBus 2.0 Slot.
NOTE: This motherboard uses MediaBus Rev. 2.0. The previous MediaBus
cards designed for MediaBus Rev. 1.2 will not fit into the MediaBus Rev 2.0
that is on this motherboard.
The difference between Rev. 1.2 and Rev. 2.0 is that the later revision has 72 pins
instead of 68 pins so it does not have to use any PCI slot signals reserved for PCI
cards, therefore the motherboard's PCI Slot 4 can meet standard specifications. The
gap between the MediaBus extension and the PCI Slot 4 has been increased from
0.32" to 0.40" in order to prevent Rev. 1.2 MediaBus cards from being installed into
the new motherboards and vice versa.
The following are MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus 2.0 that can be used on
this motherboard:
• PCI-AS2940UW Ultra Fast/Wide SCSI & Audio MediaBus Card
• PCI-AV264CT-N PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card
• PCI-AV264VT PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card
The following are MediaBus cards designed for MediaBus 1.2 and therefore can-
not be used on this motherboard:
• PCI-AS7870 Fast/Wide SCSI & Audio MediaBus Card
• PCI-AV264CT PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card
• PCI-AV868 PCI Audio & Video MediaBus Card
* All the above Audio features Creative Technology, Ltd.
* All the above Video features ATI, Inc. (AV868 Video features S3, Inc.)
