Hi Tom,
I have missed reading for quite some time the posts.
Can you please post what is your situation now with your Paris problems and
gather all your findings ?
I really cannot follow up all these posts and know where you are right now.
Regards,
Dimitrios

Hi Dimitrios,
I was very close to my 4 mec(442)/Mixer-Mixer setup you described.
I was stable as a rock with two Mecs (loaded with 5 modules each) and =
one 442.
I added a 3rd Mec and all hell broke loose. Paris would no longer boot =
up with
even one module attached. I did have a cloned C drive but not of the =
stable setup.
It was of 2 Mecs only. Not bad but not the rock solid setup. I am =
using the Lucid WC.

I smoked a Mec by booting up Paris with a SCSI cable half inserted. =
That has yet
to be repaired. I was suspect of the scsi cables for a while. I had to =
realign the pins
on a few of them.

I learned the hard way that you don't want a default project in the =
Paris folder
when adding new hardware. I suspect this was my first and most =
detrimental
mistake. I thank Jeff Hoover for that key information.

I have tried all SCSI cables and interconnect ribbons in a second =
computer to find
they are in perfect working order with the 442 as the only hardware =
attached.

Now I am triple checking that all eds cards are fully operational before =
going back
into the studio with the hardware. The only thing left to test are the =
other two functioning Mecs.
If they are happy then the Magma is worth double checking. Not quite =
sure how to do=20
that really.

I am really busy with my gigging schedule so this has taken a back seat =
but it is still
really important to have firing on all cylinders.

Thanks for listening!
Any ideas?
Tom

Tom,

Get the mecs tested first. If you have a working eds on the second
computer and the magma is connected to the studio box, drop one of the
eds's in the magma with the or a tested mec (remember the default
project there!) and fire her up. Let us know what the result is.

Ya Jeff that's the plan. When I find a minute or two.
It's crazy times around here. Sunday maybe. Maybe not.
Thanks,
Tom
