MEC died... [message #79857]

or so it seems. I disconnected it from my setup (1 MEC w/ 24b I/O, 1 EDS card,
1 c16Pro, G4 Mac) to put it in a new rack and voila! it doesn't work anymore.
It powers up, cabling is fine (tested this), but when PARIS boots up it tells
me there are no I/O modules available (and true enough the patchbay window
is blank for I/O modules).

PARIS software seems to opererate w/out it, so the EDS card seems ok - anyone
got an idea about this? Is the MEC toast?

I sure love this system, but if i need a new MEC/24 bit I/O's, I think i
may just make the switch to another platform and throw in the towel. this
hardware has been touchy as of late and it is getting old...

thanks!

Lucio,

I am sorry to hear about this.
I would check the power to the <EC and try it without the expansion cards.
I would check the cable. I would check the EDS card connector.
If you do determine that the MEC and 8in are toast...
And you decide to stay with PARIS... I have 1 of each available.
let me know and good luck.

i pulled the 24bit cards, same problem. they don't sem to be the prob.

check, used a spare Scsii cable, same problem.

>I would check the EDS card connector.

I went into the computer, reseated the EDS card. same problem

i guess the prob must be in the basic MEC, i reseated all the cards, checked
cables, with no change - how much for a raw MEC?

I am asking $125 for the raw MEC.
Includes Original SCSI and I tink a 10ft SCSI cable.

You should try looking at the solder joints on the EDS connector and the
inside of the MEC SCSI connector.
Also ceck the solder joints inside the MEC.
