I currently have 2 EDS, someone just traded me an MEC and EDS and a C16 for
some work..Well, there was more to the trade no matter.
What Do I need to hook it all up..I have a LA Audio WC generator..does the
3rd EDS have to be hooked to an inerface at all I assume it does. do need
the little ribbon cable..any place sell em?
Also, I remember this EDS card may have issues..is there a danger in putting
it in if it is a bad card or will it just not work?
Thanks all
C

Hi Cujo,
My understanding is that you do need external wordclock to run more than 2
MECs / 442s. I have 3 EDS cards in my setup running 2 MECs, with nothing
attached to the 3rd EDS.
Also, make sure you've got adequate ventilation in your computer - these
babies get hot.
I got a set of EDS cables thru http://www.eastcoastmusic.com a couple of
years ago, from Morgan Pettinato. Maybe they can still supply.
Cheers,
Stewart.

I run 6 EDS cards - with one MEC, and various other interfaces depending on
what I need. Seems like I remember chaining my wordclock output from my "A"
interface to all of the other ones (before I had an external wordclock). You
do need the EDS 10 and 16 pin jumper cables though. You can actually make
these yourself with ribbon cable and connectors - I actually might have some
laying around here.
rock on,

Oh wonderful! I have a new song that needs a ton of tracks.
SO you think I can just attach the card and rock on?
Shoould I then switch out my 442 for the new MEC to lessen the drain on the
Comps PS?
