The phrase this reminds _me_ of involves the words 'gauntlet' 'thrown down'
and 'Deej.'

My idea for a long time was (and sometimes still is):

1) Build 9 x PC's running windows ME. The master PC will have a MEC and pair
of ADAT cards and each of the 8 x slaves will have a MEC 1 x EDS card and 1
x ADAT card.

2) Each PC has aan Opcode Studio 64 XTC and the SMPTE output of the master
triggers the daisy chained slave boxes so that they are all timeline locked.

3) The main mix bus of each slave PC is routed to an ADAT stereo pair which
is routed to one of the 8 x stereo ADAT pair residing in the master PC.

4) 4 x Dell 2407 LCD's with whatever KVM hardware (or remote desktop
software) may be necessary to flip between the various computers.

This would create an 8 bus Paris rig, summing at the master and you would
have the analog or spdif I/O of each MEC to use to interface outboard gear
on the master bus insert. If you had 8 x C-16's you could create a very
impressive looking Deej'enstein. I have used all of the hardware described
above at various times and I'd lay odds that I could pull this off if I
wanted to go there. You're gonna need a machine room though.

Whoever wants to try this with 9 x ASUS A7V-8x mobos and AMD XP 3000 CPU's
(very reliable for me when I was using Paris) could probably pull it off and
I'll make them a gift of my Colorgraphics Predator Pro quad AGP card with 4
DVI outputs which will work perfectly with this mobo on the master DAW and
the 4 x Dell 2407 LCD's. (but probably not worth a flip with any other mobo
that is Paris friendly).

C'mon.........who's gonna step up?

;o)

You know you can trust me. I'm a conservative.
