Howdy.
Sorry if this is old hat. I just bought an ADAT card, and it's not showing up in the patchbay. I seem to dimly remember something about this, but I wasn't paying attention at the time.
I'm running XP. ADAT card is in slot 4.
The lights on the ADAT read:
Active: solid
Optical Lock: blinking
Sync: nothing
I don't have it connected to my RME yet, the cables won't be here till Monday.

Thanks for the help. Mike has been going through this with me, hoping his drivers would help, and we did finally get my ADAT card appearing in the patchbay, but only after some serious difficulties.
I don't know why the ADAT card didn't appear before, but it does now, after a clean reinstall of XP and Paris 3.0.
This computer has only 1 gig of RAM on an old MB, and I was absolutely unable to run Win7 on it. We were hoping Win7 would fix my issue, but 1 gig of RAM for Win7 and Paris is simply not enough, and I got the BSOD every time I tried to start Paris.
I have a RAM upgrade arriving this week, so it'll have a total of 2 (new RAM stick gigs: that's the max this old MB can take. I'll install Win7 again (this time on separate partition) after the RAM is in place, to see if Paris will run properly with that setup.
All of which is to say that the ADAT card definitely did NOT show itself before my multi-day old-PC adventure, but it's there now, so...I don't know what it could have been other than older XP drivers, maybe? Or maybe just a really old XP install on a really old computer?
Thanks,
Jmmy
