PCI-6503 on a PCI-e port with an adapter

[hri124]

Hey guys,

We have a PCI-6503 card and we wish to use it with a CPU motherboard which has only PCI-e slots. My IT guy is unable to procure a CPU system which has a PCI port and suggests that we should get a PCI-e to PCI adapter similar to the one below:

Can someone help me out and let me know if the PCI-6503 card will be able to work using such an adapter.

It is not officially supported to use adapters, so I don't think anyone would be able to give a firm answer to your question. I guess you would have to give it a try yourself.

Did this work? I also want to do this for the exact same reason.

Sorry. I didn't have enough time to experiment so I went ahead with a spare CPU which had a PCI port. I would still like to know if this works or not.
