110 Appendix E: Technical information Matrox Meteor-II /1394
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.
