Okay here's where I am so far

2 EDS cards - Both functioning when Card A is connected to single MEC A -
this has been my set up for several years now.

So I buy a second MEC and ADAT card..check to see that both MEC and ADAT
card are functioning by connecting them to Card A...I didn't try sending a
signal to my machine with the Dakota card so I am in fact assuming they both
work BUT this new MEC setup was recognised by Paris and showed up correctly
in the Patch bay window

So I....

Wired MEC A via multi pin cable to Card A
Wired MEC B via multi pin cable to Card B
Link the two MECs via the word clock cable I bought from you...MEC A -WC out
to MEC B WC in

Start Paris - Get message - Error in initializing Paris Engine Error Code
18/12

I did some testing and both multi pin cables are good and both MECs get
recognised individually by Card A but neither MEC is recognised individually
by Card B

Any ideas as to what is going on?

Don

18/12 is an ADAT module error IIRC. Are you running Paris on Win XP? If so,
do you have more than one ADAT module "per MEC'? If this is the case, this
is the problem. If you've only got one ADAT module, make sure it's in the
MEC attached to Card A.

Hmmm..........Win XP I'm assuming. Try inserting the ADAT cards in different
slots-preferably the #1 slots. I actually had 2 x ADAT cards working in MEC
#1 and a single ADAT card working in MECs 2 & 3 back when I was running
Paris on XP. The ADAT cards were in the first two MEC slots on the MEC on
card A and in the first slot on the MECs on Cards B & C.

Sorry DJ yes it is Win XP

Present set up is MEC A - ADAT is in slot 5 (it's original slot)
MEC B - ADAT is in Slot 1

Should I swap MEC A's ADAT to slot 1 or Slot 3

Use MEC slot #1 for the ADAT card on all MECs.

Ok...I'll swap out the Modules in MEC A so that it is

Slot 1) ADAT
Slot 2) 8 in
Slot 3) 8 out

I'll get back to you when that is done...1/2 hour or so

BTW, I'm off to the store for a while. B'back in about 3 hours. One
suggestion before I go. If this configuration doesn't work right out of the
chute, save your fxvar file (so your EDS presets are preserved), uninstall
and reinstall Paris so that the first configuration the new install sees is
this one. IIRC, that's something I had to do, but Paris on XP can be quirky
sometimes. I think Mic Cross had 2 x ADAT modules working in each of 4 X
MECS........Brian T. also. I couldn't get this working.......but then again,
those guys are smart.
;o)
