Hi Paul,
Did you get it figured out? I'm also on a Mac. Dunno what difference it
makes except that Macs can be funny about which slot will be your A card
or B card. I have found that bad ribbon cables can cause that problem too.
I'd suggest going back to a one card system to be sure that works and then
add the second card.
Good luck!

Paul.
An easy mistake to make is to plug the ribbon connectors incorrectly
The pins on the EDS cards are bent at right angles to the PCB,
and are VERY close to board.
On some EDS's they are too close, and need to be gently bent upwards to accomodate
the plug.
Make sure the connector is plugged into both rows of pins, and that
you haven't missed any.
Also if you made your own clock cable, make sure all conductors
have been crimped correctly. Check conductivity with a multimeter.

DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!!
We have a winner!!!!
Actually, I managed to get ahold of Rod -- he told me the same thing
and I had missed one row of pins on the same cable on both cards.
I hate when that happens.
Once I had that corrected, the error went away. I went from full-on
panic to partial panic.
For my next trick, I had to teach myself in a hurry how to assign
submixes to different C16's, how to turn on the mixer and editor
windows for both submixes -- shit like that.
Again, NEVER wait until the night before a session to try a completely
different hardware configuration, unless you're Deej.
Who, by the way, I also tried to call, but your phone was busy for an
hour. The ponies calling their friends? ;-P
Anywho..... I managed to sort it all out and got it recording just in
time. Lesson #2 -- anywhere from 8 - 20 tracks streaming for four
hours chews up a LOT of drive space -- I ran out just after the final
song of the night ended. Whew.
Neil -- I just took a shot that the number I found at infospace was
you, and apparently it was.
Thanks, guys.
