Hey everyone, been away from the forum. I've notice that new Driver(s) has
been coded for Paris. Before I part with any money, I need to know the following..

1) Do they work?
2) Stability
3) What OS's are supported? XP-Pro, SP2, Sp3, Vista Ultimate?

Thanks

I can vouch for them working on my own computer - it isn't multi-CPU but
they certainly haven't broken anything I'm aware of. Point of fact none of
the betas have been anything but solid for me. As far as the multi-CPU
users, the reports back are great so far, and Mike's been running them
solidly himself.

I would say if you're contemplating getting into multi-CPUs, or if you've
ever been inconvenienced by difficulty running multiple ADAT cards in one
MEC under XP, this is the absolute "must-have" upgrade of the last five
years (since the XP drivers hit).

Consider this too - if any issues reveal themselves post-release, these
drivers are written by someone who's actually an active part of this NG. I
reckon you're going to get a heck of a lot more responsiveness from Mike if
any issues crop up than we've been previously conditioned to expect in the
world of PARIS :D

AFAIK, they're XP only, not Vista. Dunno about the specific service packs,
but we've not been told SP3 was to be avoided. Having said that, I'm running
them on XP SP2.

Hi you guys,

I am in the beginning stages of setting this up on a quad core.
I'll post results here as they come. I'm heading down to start
installing EDS cards now.

Great Tom, please do keep us posted with your specs and results. I am
staring down the road of multicore/modern CPUs myself, pocket book in hand.
Soon.........!!!!

Thanks

Just as an aside - it's nice to see the community in the process of
reclaiming the word "soon" and giving it a "non-ironic" meaning once again.

Okay as Deej suggested I am able to get four eds
sharing IRQ 20 using an older PCI Magma with
a flat Magma cable. They are in slots 1, 5, 7 and 11.
That's a gimee. Get your long ribbons made for this to work.

Next is where to put the fifth EDS, creamware and USB hardware.
They all can be finicky. I am testing every slot to see who shares
with what or what shares with whom?

I'll post my results and hardware as soon as it is helpful. Generally
Deej and I have the same comp both made by Chris Ludwig.

Mike's work has yet to be implemented. I am still in search of the
holy irq grail.

Tom

Hi Tom,

I'm using the same expansion chassis, and all is well. The driver is designed
to share its IRQ. You shouldn't need to care what IRQ anything has. I've
never given it a though except when I was working with the old driver on
a multi CPU machine.

Good luck!

Mike

Hi Mike,

I've had mountains of problems with video sharing, scherzo and UAD-1,
SATA controllers and scherzo.

Maybe with your driver work, PCIe and UAD-2 our IRQ problems
have been minimized. I do have 5 EDS, Creamware, UAD-2, dual head graphics
8x8 Midisport, Tranzport and PS2 and wireless key/ms.

I'm staying on the safe side. I am bringing your drivers into the rig after
I
do a backup. I also have to get 3 Mecs, 442 and wordclock cooking here.
I'll be busy tonight!

Tom

I have tested my AMD quad with the new drivers for some hours and no
problems at all have showed up.
