OK Mike, here's what I'm using.
http://www.swd.de/
4xPCI expansion board (EXS-EX-1035)
202,30 euro = $215 US dollar
http://swd.de/oxid/index.php?lang=0&cl=search&search param=exs-ex-1035
PCIe card with cable to PCI expansion board (EXS-EX-1095)
37,70 euro = $39 US dollars

VirtuaVia no longer sells these items. SWD.de is in Germany.
They use PayPal and it took about a month for receipt. Shipment box was damaged, but parts worked fine.
I use a pawn shop XP computer ($35) which I completely gutted except the power supply and on/off switch and added a fan. I installed the expansion board in this. EDS cards go in from the bottom upwards. ie, EDS A is the bottom card, EDS B next card up and so on. The EDS cable is connected to EDS A, bottom card and goes to your PARIS interface.
In my PCIe win7/64 comp I installed the pci-e card. It includes a DVI cable (3 foot) which connects to the XP modded comp box.
Make sure you get and install Mike Audet's drivers before you connect all you new gear. They work great. If you end up with a couple extra bucks I recommend his DP vocal and room reverbs (both stereo), his pre-delay and his updated nolimit. I use these exclusively on just about every mix I do.
That's it. Just remember to turn on the XP box and Paris interface before Win7 start, so that your win7 comp sees the expansion card with your EDS's and will assign the Ensoniq scherzo drivers appropriately.
One side note. I use ProTools 12 (64bit) as my writing/sequencing app for solo or duo projects or my own stuff. I do not use PARIS at the same time. I use PARIS as my band tracking app because I love the near zero latency and 8-out aux external headphone mixes using 6 of the 8 outputs via my MEC.
If I want to use both apps in a project, I'll render the file in either app from time zero and import it to the other app. 2nd side note: I strip file header info from PT bounced files before and convert the waves to paf (24 bit only for mono files) before adding to PARIS. When going from PARIS to PT I just convert to wave. PARIS has no header info when converted to wave.
I've never had much luck running PARIS as a slave or master when running two apps so I just do it manually by converting files and importing or adding.
Hope this gets you to where you are going.
Best,
