Operating System Support
Magma supports the latest and most popular operatings systems. In general there is no special software required from Magma. Typcically, the slot configuration is independant of the operating system and handled through the system BIOS.
Some laptop solutions require a Magma driver to configure bus numbering and/or PCI resources through CardBus or ExpressCard. Magma drivers can be downloaded on the Drivers and Utilities page.
NOTE: The card installed in the Magma expansion system must be supported by the operating system.
