You can fill ALL the slots in the MEC, but you can only
select *two* modules at a time to be accessable for Input or
output. This means you can not pull two inputs off of an
adat card while using 14 analog inputs... that would require
having three cards active.

I messed with it some more this evening, and found that I could drag
the adat IN block out of the assignment while still leaving the adat
OUT patched in. Then I dropped the other 8in card into the second set
of inputs, and life is good.
Now - adat optical question. I patched the mixer mains to module 1 &2
since I only need two channels out for this project. I've never used
adat lightpipe before, only toslink optical. If I plug an optical
cable from the adat card into, say, the optical in of a cd recorder,
will it see the two channels, or is it a completely different data
stream protocol and I need something that speaks lightpipe to pick the
two channels out of the stream?

The adat protocol it *completely* different from TOSlink and
nothing will be recognized.

Dave,
I got Paris ADAT modules to operate via spdif Toslink on channels 1& 2.
