yes a good recap of psu will do the trick and battery change as that makes them better also they start acting up if the bios batteries go

my cards the same as yours its the soundtools software and the degidesign 1 then 2 i had all the upgrade disks also must archive them

i had the original adc/dac box its white

but the 442 io is better quality i see if i can get one thanks for the tip

  You can connect a digidesign 442 io to the sound accelerator ii card mentioned below. That's how I use mine in a IIsi with 64mb of RAM.


  I have a IIci as well but the serial ports seem problematic when trying to use sd for EII. Can't communicate error each time I try to send signals to eii from software control but the if I keep send the command again it responds and communication goes back offline. Switched to the iisi and works everytime.


  Jammie, think I need to recap my iici?
  Id love to use that as its far more expandable than the slower smaller iisi.


  Any thoughts are appreciated.
  Thanks.

    sounddesigner for emax does not

    but if you want to use sounddesigner for all samplers 

    like i do which means you do samples once then dump them to several machines

    as was trhe only way back then but now you have translator software like translator 

    i use a soundtool2 card which was the pre protools card and came wirth an external 

    adc/dac and had a scsi 25dsub connection 

    then there was audiomedia 1 this had the inputs and adc and dac onboard the card 

    then there was audio media 2 same as first with better motorola dsp chip and better adc/dacs

    then there is audiomedia3 this is a pci card all sampler formats and dumping was stopped it was just a poor mans protools card 

    the first 3 i mentioned require os7 to work correctly as os8 dropped the support for the midi of these cards and why the pci version stopped doing sample support

    as digi design were to lazy to redo the midi code to work with os8 that it used with the earlier cards

    i use a macIIci with my card 128mb ram and a scsi cf drives very quiet and i use it with my EII EIII mirage dss1 and many others

      Hello! Several versions require a "DSP" card. Would anyone give me more information as to this? Thank you!
