Hi Jimmy,
I agree. I've found myself buying plugs that I already
own just to donate to Mike for his freeware work.
I am still wondering if the newest ADAT.dll and PSCL
allow ADAT sync and multiple ADATs across two or more
mecs? If it does both then we're ready for prime time
with XP!
Another question is did anyone actually try substituting the
24bit chip with the 20bit chip in our ADAT modules?
That would be the best fix if it's doable. Maybe there's
another problem that I don't know about?
Good times,
Tom

Well, no hiccups yet. I'm going to push it hard tonight and let you guys know.
But it does feel different, the GUI responds like it did on my old PIII motherboard
again.
I'll report back tomorrow. If all goes well, I'm buying some of Mike's plugins.
; ) I always thought about bidding on an old DP4 on eBay, but now I don't
have to.

I can test that next week, with adat cards across 3 mecs, or hell, why
not 4 mecs? I'll test that.
I don't think I have adat sync cables anymore.. I'll have to check.
Things are a bit chaotic for the next few days here but things should
return to normal after the weekend and I'll be back in Parisland..
Cheers,
TC

Thanks, Jeff. I may take you up on that. I hope the beta testing shows all
is well, though. :)
All the best,
Mike
