Chapter 2: Installation
Introduction
A DAG 4.2S card can be installed in any free 3.3v signalling 64-bit Bus
Mastering PCI slot. The DAG 4.2S card is capable of running at 66MHz,
but if any other device on the same bus is not capable of 66MHz operation
then all devices on the bus will operate at 33MHz.
Although by default, the driver supports up to four DAG cards in one
system, there should not be more than two cards on a single PCI bus due to
bandwidth limitations. However, this is not usually a limitation as for most
applications a maximum of two cards only can be used with reasonable
application performance.
