I wonder if there's enough current to run the PCI card portion of

the Delta 1010 setup?  The data converters are in a break-out box

in an audio rack.  There isn't a whole lot on the PCI card, no

fans, and I don't even think any heat sinks.  That might indicate

low power.

Maybe I should try one?  But, one reviewer's comment about the

card being so badly manufactured that it damaged his motherboard

makes me nervous.
Cheerio....
