Experience with extension box to use PCI slots on current PCs with PCIe slot

[MichaGue_01]

Hello everybody, I'm facing the challenge to change some measuring systems to Windows 10. The available PCs only have PCIe slots, so that existing PCI measuring cards can no longer be used in the PC. Does anyone have experience with external PCI expansion boxes, such as this model: https://www.exsys.de/index.php?page=product&info=9

The cards I would like to continue using are e.g. the NI PCI-6115.

Thanks a lot and best regards,

Michael

I recently was in the same boat you are in, I purchased a similar external chassis from Startech (2PCI + 2PCIe).

It came with a small PCIe card inserted into the host PC that the chassis gets cabled to.

Worked like a charm, did not even require drivers to be installed.
