Yes, all worthwhile points to know about.
There has been hinting from Chris in particular, that a PCI card
could blow up the Iyonix.
I certainly wouldn't use my Iyonix to test for dead PCI cards,
There are plenty of PC's for that.
But there has been no-one claiming that they *did* do damage by
the trying of a video card in their machine.
