Hello everyone..

I bought a Paris 3.0 System off of ebay last year it appears to be brand new looking. the MEC came with 2 analog ins, 2 adat ins, 2 analog outs, and a smpte card. the cards are all black, except the smpte. the mec is a blue paris pro model. it also came with a c16pro, the scsi cable and ethernet cable, and a os 9.3 mac g4 with 2 eds cards. and all the discs and manuals etc.

before i ever experimented with the system i noticed that one of the eds cards was corroding pretty bad, so i bought a new one from thesoniq, and installed it. I started paris up and set that card as the master. restarted paris, and well, I cant get the c16 to light up or do anything, and when i open a new project and click on any other "window" besides the mixer window, the system freezes and i have to hard reset the g4.

this g4 also has the oasys pci card installed on it, if that matters.

I havent been able to do anything with this system yet. I dont know what to do besides either uninstalling paris and reloading it or buying a new dedicated xp pc, or something.

any suggestions?

Not familiar with MAC setups but have you tried just one EDS card and seeing if that works.

Do you have the three cross over cables required to connect the two EDS cards together?

I'll leave any further info to our MAC guys

Sounds like a connection issue - that is: the connection from the EDS 1000. I don't
think it's a driver or software problem. I would try as Don suggested, just one card
first, see if you can get that running before adding the 2nd card...

I have a 2 card system on Mac OS 9.2.2 and the only time I had a problem similar
was when I bent a connection pin and shorted the card (and the MEC). Did you
consult with the guy at TheSoniq at all?

How badly is it corroding? I don't suppose you could upload a photo, could you? It might give us an idea of whether it can be salvaged.

Pretty sure he's swapped that particular card out of the system...

I was thinking more that if it's not hard to salvage he could put one more card in his system for the cost of a little elbow grease Very Happy
