Mike is a hero, he's changed the future for PARIS die-hards already.
Hey, I have a completely counterintuitive suggestion. Got a PCI-E slot on your current PARIS computer? Maybe you should consider going ahead and buying yourself a VirtuaVia chassis for the relatively low amount it costs, and moving your PARIS rig into it.
That may seem like a weird thing to do, since you'd have spent money and gone through a "gear dance", for the immediate gain of absolutely zero. No added functionality.
But with TC's great work testing the VirtuaVia chassis, and all Mike's incredible driver work last year, it's now become a smart "future-proofing" move. You'd have:
1) freed yourself from having to choose your future mobo from a small subset of available mobos and cases (ones with sufficient PCI slots, and lest we forget, those of sufficient physical size to hold a PARIS card without bumping into a drive bay etc),
2) absorbed one of the predictable costs of a future PC upgrade in advance so it doesn't all hit at once later, and
3) made re-installing your PARIS rig on a new computer in the future far, far easier - instead of the traditional hassle of reloading the cards, juggling slots, doing your cross cabling, figuring out which EDS card is the Master etc, you just load one card (the VirtuaVia PCI-E host card) into the new puter and and install the PARIS software. If you don't run into any particular gremlins, you'd be up and running in a fraction of the time after a computer upgrade. That's likely going to be my own approach.

i was writing [audio] to my system *C* drive to test, and it was working
beautifully, but when i would write to my secondary IDE it would act like
data was bottlenecking and slowing down (but not stopping) t
