The One Stop Systems / MAGMA PCIEIF68 is a 32-bit PCI expansion interface card that connects PCI expansion chassis to host computers, enabling the addition of multiple PCI slots beyond native motherboard capacity. This interface card integrates with MAGMA’s 13-slot PCI expansion systems via a 68-pin connector, providing a direct pathway for PCI bus connectivity between the host system and external expansion chassis.
