    The ad clearly states that it is for a Desktop machine.

    There is only one indexer model for the Desktop.

    It will also work on a BT32 or BT48 Standard. It will not work on an Alpha.

    You are right Brady, for some stupid reason I thought the desktop had an Alpha version but should have checked Shopbot's site before replying.

    Yes. Assuming you are running a 4G board & you buy a matching 5th driver from SB or Geckodrive. Match whatever you have in there already.

    The DT Gecko drive will not work on the PRS unless you are in the gifted class.
