Hi all,

Just a teaser here. Host and mobo purchased from SWD. Using one ExSys EX-1035 mobo in an ATX case with 550 PS, some fans and 4 EDS. Using 2 EX-1094's (PCI host card) each installed in separate XP PARIS rigs.

Had a major problem at 1st. 1035 would not turn on. Problem was the mounting screws. I used the mobo mounting screws from the ATX box I stripped down. The heads of the screws were ever so slightly larger and shorted the 1035. Didn't damage it. Whew!

Replaced the screws with smaller heads and bingo! Could be an American "inches" vice rest of the world "metric" issue. I just wanted to warn all users about this.

Played back 60 tracks while recording 2 more. Moved the 1035 to 2nd XP comp and ditto.

Purchased Mike Audet's Win7 driver/app from his website. Installed an EX-1095 (PCIe) in my Win7 PC, installed Mike's package. Connected the 1035 w/4 EDS and it launched and recognized all 4 cards. Didn't have a project installed yet, but I think it's gonna be fine.

As a note, my largest project only had 30 tracks, 16 and 14 on submix A and B. So I copied submix A to C, and submix B to D. Copied A and B mixer to C and D. Everything played fine except the noticeable phasing of copied tracks and the submix A to B to C to D sample latency times.

One other note. I did turn off HyperTreading in the bios. Originally I had it enabled when running 2 EDS in the XP comp but adding the new PCI host card bridge and 2 additional EDS was not as stable with all the IRQ sharing. Seems pretty stable with HT off.

Just letting you all know that the PCI host card EX-1094 works fine on an XP machine, but I'm in the initial testing.

One thing I noticed was when I stopped a project the music plays an additional second. It's like it takes a second or so to stop everything. Wasn't like that when 2 EDS was inside the XP comp.

That's it for now.
