Hello Mind Mechanic,

Here is some info that may answer your questions.


Basic Configuration

     4 Motorola 56309 DSPs
     96 MB sample RAM
     12 expansion slots
     I/O and external sync (see below)
     External rackmount or desktop case (protects the DSPs and converters
from the electrically noisy environment inside your
     personal computer, and leaves valuable slot-space free to use for other
cards on your host computer)

Expansion Card

     2 Motorola 56309 DSPs
     48 MB sample RAM (per card)
     Up to 12 cards can be added

Inputs and Outputs

     4-8 channels
     24-bit 32-100 kHz sample rate
     Balanced Analog & Digital (AES/EBU or S/PDIF), XLR connectors
     MIDI in / out / thru


I hope this helps and that I understood your question.

^f.
