I did the opposite of you just a few weeks ago. I took it out of my mac and put it in my pc. I don't know if iMacs have a PCI slot though, I had a G4, but the Digi001 works on both Macs and PCs.

I looked and looked for something like you're talking about but never found anything. Thought maybe there was a firewire device that was some sort of pci converter thing but they don't seem to exist. It's actually the main reason I wish I had never purchased an Imac.

They are called expansion chassis, but the price of a 002 is far cheaper.

Is there even an external PCI express port on the iMac? Mine for sure don't have one. (intel core duo). The Digi 002 does look like a better option.

you will also have an OS issue with trying to run a 001

I think the 001 is locked at 6.4 on both XP and Mac ... could be OS9 and only the earliest OSX ... and as for Intel ... something tells me ... NO

even though the later Macs had a PCI slot ... I think there was an end to using the 001

generally 001s are at there best inside a modern XP machine
same goes for an AM3 card
that is if you expect to run LOTS of plugs and soft synths

I suspect the 002 will be discontinued soon been seeing them deeply discounted at guitar center.

Did see some images of the 003, not sure if they are real though.
