One difference that may be important is that the 3.3V rail was made mandatory even in a 5V slot. In PCI 2.1 it was optional. Since the PCI 2.2 specification is tighter with a less ambigous language it is probably safer to require 2.2 as a manufacturer of PCI cards. There is less risk of implementational incompatibilites. Most likely the cards will work fine in a 2.1 slot.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Re: How to test if PCI 2.2?
Just adding my 2 cents.. I have used PCI cards before that say PCI 2.2 on them (not specifying whether it is a requirement) on machines that don't support it (old old). The cards functioned perfectly in all cases. Note: These were not digium cards. Regards, Kimble Young Lee wrote: The Digium web site says that the card is "PCI 2.2 Compliant," which to me says that the card *supports* that standard, not that PCI 2.2 is *required*. The data sheet states In "Hardware and Software Requirements": "Available PCI Slot" Now, call me crazy, but that doesn't pretty much means any PCI slot of any kind(!) I would think if PCI 2.2 is required that such facts would be included in the requirements section of the data sheet. If indeed PCI 2.2 *is* required then Digium should carefully change their pre-sales documentation. So my question remains: Is PCI 2.2 a requirement to use the TDM400P card? If so, where is this specified? If not, is there a performance difference when using PCI 2.1?

The Digium web site says that the card is "PCI 2.2 Compliant," which to me says that the card *supports* that standard, not that PCI 2.2 is *required*. The data sheet states In "Hardware and Software Requirements": "Available PCI Slot" Now, call me crazy, but that doesn't pretty much means any PCI slot of any kind(!)

When I cat /var/log/dmesg | grep PCI, I get this: PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfc7ce, last bus=1 PCI: Using configuration type 1 PCI: Probing PCI hardware PCI: Discovered primary peer bus 01 [IRQ] PCI: Using IRQ router ServerWorks [1166/0200] at 00:0f.0 Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS MULTIPORT SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled SvrWks OSB4: IDE controller at PCI slot 00:0f.1 PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 01:02.0 PCI: Found IRQ 15 for device 01:02.1 scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36 scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.36 PCI: Assigned IRQ 5 for device 00:0f.2 Does this first line confirm that I am PCI 2.1. I tried it on several machines that I have access to and they all say 2.10. I recognize that this means I'm out of luck for a TDM4xx card, but is this an accurate enough test or might the OS be somehow fibbing? dbc. > Message: 5 > Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2004 08:31:47 +0800 > From: Ronald Wiplinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] How to test if PCI 2.2? > To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed > > Is there a way to test if the motherboard is ready for a Digium card > (PCI 2.2) ? > > I would like to know from a remote computer, where I have (root) > access, > if this computer is ready for a TDM22B. > > bye > > Ronald ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
