In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The hardware solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a 442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I didn't =
learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. I deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the system was =
fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it would usually =
start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the 442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it worked or =
didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec sometime =
during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I never tried =
that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now think it =
fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio on =
Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

WOW!!!........man........I'm sorry you're having to go through this kind =
of grief Tom. I hope it wasn't the MEC I sent you. Was that the one with =
the black gaffers tape holding the bottom plate? If so, it's not my =
fault. I got it from Rick. ;oD
Seriously, I am bummed out for you. there's norhting worse than having =
to deal with this kinda' stuff, IMO. You have my permission to use the =
MEC for target practice if that will help.

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The hardware =
solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a 442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec =
attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I didn't =
learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. I =
deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the system was =
fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it would =
usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the 442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it worked or =
didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec sometime =
during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I never tried =
that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now think it =
fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio on =
Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

Interested people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The hardware =
solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a 442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never got a =
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec =
attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I didn't =
learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. I =
deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, uninstalled =
the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the system was =
fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it would =
usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the 442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it worked or =
didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec =
sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I never =
tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now think it =
fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio on =
Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a 442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never got =
a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec =
attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I =
didn't learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the =
end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and =
Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. I =
deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, uninstalled =
the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the system =
was fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it would =
usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the 442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it worked or =
didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own doing. =
I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec =
sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I never =
tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now think =
it fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio on =
Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

Hey Deej,
If you know it worked then it did. My other mecs are another story.
I don't think you're mec had it out for them. . . well maybe huh?
The new kid in town?=20
I might be going to Namm in Anaheim 1/16-21/08. Could be a helluva
good time after the holiday season. I'll get you lunch and whatever =
else
happens that night if you can make it.
GOOD NEWS! I can finally hear audio again!!!
All 5 EDS cards are working perfectly in the Magma. I am Acronising the =
whole
shootin' match before throwing the UAD back in. No IRQ sharing except =
with
USB that is never in use except for backups after the session. I can =

Interested people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until =
Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The hardware =
solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a =
442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never =
got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec =
attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I =
didn't learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's =
mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the =
end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and =
Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. I =
deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, =
uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the system =
was fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it would =
usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the =
442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it worked =
or didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own =
doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec =
sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I never =
tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now think =
it fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio =
on Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

Dude, if you have 3 toasted MEC's I think it VERY likely you had a bad =
cable that put the hurt on them all as you swapped around parts.=20

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The hardware =
solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a 442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec =
attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I didn't =
learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. I =
deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the system was =
fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it would =
usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the 442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it worked or =
didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec sometime =
during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I never tried =
that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now think it =
fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio on =
Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

I'll double check Aaron.
Continuity is my middle name.

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The hardware =
solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a 442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never got a =
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec =
attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I didn't =
learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. I =
deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, uninstalled =
the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the system was =
fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it would =
usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the 442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it worked or =
didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec =
sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I never =
tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now think it =
fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio on =
Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

Most absolutely hardware. 3 Mecs down for the count.
No word on the 10 modules that were onboard during
the mishap.
Anyone have a spare mec they can part with?

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until =
Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The hardware =
solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a =
442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never =
got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec =
attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I =
didn't learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's =
mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the =
end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and =
Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. I =
deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, =
uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the system =
was fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it would =
usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the =
442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it worked =
or didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own =
doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec =
sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I never =
tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now think =
it fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio =
on Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

I'll also toss out an edumacated guess that only the interface portion =
got fried and all your MEC cards are likely to be ok... holla back on =
that man.=20
Sorry, no spare MEC's around here, in fact I'm going to be growing my =
rig again shortly with a few more EDS cards :)
Say Tom, have you called The Soniq about repairing yours... he offers =
warranty on his work yano :)

Most absolutely hardware. 3 Mecs down for the count.
No word on the 10 modules that were onboard during
the mishap.
Anyone have a spare mec they can part with?

I'll double check Aaron.

Dude, if you have 3 toasted MEC's I think it VERY likely you had a =

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until =
Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The hardware =
solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a =
442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never =
got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec =
attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I =
didn't learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's =
mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the =
end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and =
Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. I =
deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, =
uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the system =
was fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it would =
usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the =
442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it worked =
or didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own =
doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec =
sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I never =
tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now think =
it fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio =
on Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

Tom, check the "For sale" section of the NG, since someone JUST
posted a bunch'o' Paris gear for sale, including MEC's - if
that doesn't work out for you I have ONE I can lend you, not
for sale, but can lend it to you for a short time if you're
willing to pay for shipoing both ways. Post here to lemme know
if you need that for a favor; at which point we can negotiate
for your firstborn or something lol!

Aaron,
Thanks, I won't know about the modules until some new Mecs get delivered =
here.
I think I have the four I need almost on their way from multiple =
sources.
It looks like a chip in the master section of the scsi scorched mec got =
hit bad. We're
looking for the chip now. The other mecs may have less of a problem. =
Maybe some DC=20
down the WC line? Just a guess. Everything was AC grounded and no =
polarity shift.
We learned there's all kinds of protection fuses in line on the master =
section. It seems 'they' weren't
fried but the expensive stuff right after them was. . .

I'll also toss out an edumacated guess that only the interface portion =
got fried and all your MEC cards are likely to be ok... holla back on =
that man.=20
Sorry, no spare MEC's around here, in fact I'm going to be growing my =
rig again shortly with a few more EDS cards :)
Say Tom, have you called The Soniq about repairing yours... he offers =
warranty on his work yano :)

Most absolutely hardware. 3 Mecs down for the count.
No word on the 10 modules that were onboard during
the mishap.
Anyone have a spare mec they can part with?

I'll double check Aaron.
Continuity is my middle name.

Dude, if you have 3 toasted MEC's I think it VERY likely you had =
a bad cable that put the hurt on them all as you swapped around parts.=20

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until =
Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The hardware =
solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and a =
442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris =
freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to =
where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that =
time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the 442. =
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and never =
got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a Mec =
attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I =
didn't learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, Deej's =
mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until the =
end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the =
Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) and =
Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the gills. =
I deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, =
uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the =
system was fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it =
would usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with the =
442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it =
worked or didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own =
doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master Mec =
sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I =
never tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now =
think it fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another studio =
on Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Next I tried again in the =

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Even the 442 boots were =

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>

Neil,
Thanks. It seems Mecs should be floating in so I
shouldn't need to borrow yours. Thanks a lot for your offer.

Tom, check the "For sale" section of the NG, since someone JUST
posted a bunch'o' Paris gear for sale, including MEC's - if
that doesn't work out for you I have ONE I can lend you, not
for sale, but can lend it to you for a short time if you're
willing to pay for shipoing both ways. Post here to lemme know
if you need that for a favor; at which point we can negotiate
for your firstborn or something lol! =20

AA,
I did find one scsi cable that had a couple dead pins out of five =
cables.
It allowed the 442 to work though. ? . Maybe those pins aren't used
in the Paris pin out? I chucked it anyway. Could be the source of
all evil.

Aaron,
Thanks, I won't know about the modules until some new Mecs get =
delivered here.
I think I have the four I need almost on their way from multiple =
sources.
It looks like a chip in the master section of the scsi scorched mec =
got hit bad. We're
looking for the chip now. The other mecs may have less of a problem. =
Maybe some DC=20
down the WC line? Just a guess. Everything was AC grounded and no =
polarity shift.
We learned there's all kinds of protection fuses in line on the master =
section. It seems 'they' weren't
fried but the expensive stuff right after them was. . .

I'll also toss out an edumacated guess that only the interface =
portion got fried and all your MEC cards are likely to be ok... holla =
back on that man.=20
Sorry, no spare MEC's around here, in fact I'm going to be growing =
my rig again shortly with a few more EDS cards :)
Say Tom, have you called The Soniq about repairing yours... he =
offers warranty on his work yano :)

Most absolutely hardware. 3 Mecs down for the count.
No word on the 10 modules that were onboard during
the mishap.
Anyone have a spare mec they can part with?

I'll double check Aaron.
Continuity is my middle name.

Dude, if you have 3 toasted MEC's I think it VERY likely you =

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until =
Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The =
hardware solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's =
why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills and =
a 442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris =
freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to =
where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that =
time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the =
442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and =
never got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a =
Mec attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). I =
didn't learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, =
Deej's mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until =
the end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely the =
Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) =
and Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the =
gills. I deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, =
uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the =
system was fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it =
would usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with =
the 442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it =
worked or didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own =
doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master =
Mec sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I =
never tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now =
think it fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another =
studio on Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to =
software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?

AA,
I did find one scsi cable that had a couple dead pins out of five =
cables.
It allowed the 442 to work though. ? . Maybe those pins aren't used
in the Paris pin out? I chucked it anyway. Could be the source =
of
all evil.

Aaron,
Thanks, I won't know about the modules until some new Mecs get =
delivered here.
I think I have the four I need almost on their way from multiple =
sources.
It looks like a chip in the master section of the scsi scorched mec =
got hit bad. We're
looking for the chip now. The other mecs may have less of a =
problem. Maybe some DC=20
down the WC line? Just a guess. Everything was AC grounded and no =
polarity shift.
We learned there's all kinds of protection fuses in line on the =
master section. It seems 'they' weren't
fried but the expensive stuff right after them was. . .

I'll also toss out an edumacated guess that only the interface =

Sorry, no spare MEC's around here, in fact I'm going to be growing =

Most absolutely hardware. 3 Mecs down for the count.
No word on the 10 modules that were onboard during
the mishap.
Anyone have a spare mec they can part with?

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed until =
Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The =
hardware solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's =
why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills =
and a 442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. =
Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris =
freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back to =
where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at that =
time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the =
442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and =
never got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was a =
Mec attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay connections). =
I didn't learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, =
Deej's mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing until =
the end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely =
the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default proj) =
and Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the =
gills. I deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, =
uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 the =
system was fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually it =
would usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except with =
the 442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it =
worked or didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my own =
doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the Master =
Mec sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so I =
never tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I now =
think it fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another =
studio on Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to =
software.
It ain't over till it's over.

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>is seeming to be the most =
logical at=20
this point. Here's why:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I was working perfectly =
with 2 mecs=20
loaded to the gills and a 442.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I wanted one more mec and =

from Deej. Mistakenly,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I installed it without =
hiding my=20
default project. Paris freaked</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>and I went through days =
of turmoil=20
looking to get back to where</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I was. Paris =
refused to boot=20
with mecs and no 442 at that time.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Next I built another comp =
to test eds=20
and cables and the 442. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Everything went =
</FONT><FONT=20
face=3DArial size=3D2>fine. No probs. This =
seemed=20
promising.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Next I tried again in the =
studio with=20
both computers and never got a </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>good Paris boot. =
Every time it=20
wouldn't boot there was a Mec attached.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Even the 442 boots were =
flakey (no=20
patchbay connections). I didn't learn </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>anything from this=20
effort.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>2 days ago I went to a =
techs place=20
with the Paris comp, Deej's mec</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>and the 442. We =
used the mec=20
throughout all testing until the end.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Fresh C drive, fresh =
Paris=20
install.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>As soon as the 442 was =
introduced=20
Paris booted. Likely the Deej</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>mec is faulty but not=20
necessarily.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Today I went back to my =
original C=20
drive (no default proj) and Paris</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>would not boot =
with my other Mec=20
that is loaded to the gills. I deleted</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>the Scherzo drivers, =
reloaded the new=20
ones I just got, uninstalled the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>subsystem and reloaded =
it. Once=20
I changed to the 442 the system was fine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Let me rephrase "Paris =

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>up but no audio was =

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>My take is that the =

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>removed it and later =

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>next week. There =

<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Mec again. My =

I did find one scsi cable that had a couple dead pins out of five =
cables.
It allowed the 442 to work though. ? . Maybe those pins aren't used

Aaron,
Thanks, I won't know about the modules until some new Mecs get =
delivered here.
I think I have the four I need almost on their way from multiple =
sources.
It looks like a chip in the master section of the scsi scorched =
mec got hit bad. We're
looking for the chip now. The other mecs may have less of a =
problem. Maybe some DC=20
down the WC line? Just a guess. Everything was AC grounded and =
no polarity shift.
We learned there's all kinds of protection fuses in line on the =
master section. It seems 'they' weren't
fried but the expensive stuff right after them was. . .

I'll also toss out an edumacated guess that only the interface =
portion got fried and all your MEC cards are likely to be ok... holla =
back on that man.=20
Sorry, no spare MEC's around here, in fact I'm going to be =
growing my rig again shortly with a few more EDS cards :)
Say Tom, have you called The Soniq about repairing yours... he =
offers warranty on his work yano :)

Most absolutely hardware. 3 Mecs down for the count.
No word on the 10 modules that were onboard during
the mishap.
Anyone have a spare mec they can part with?

I'll double check Aaron.

Intersted people,
I know 3 fried mecs is unlikely. It's not confirmed =
until Tuesday=20
when I'll check the two that might 'still work'. The =
hardware solution
is seeming to be the most logical at this point. Here's =
why:
I was working perfectly with 2 mecs loaded to the gills =
and a 442.
I wanted one more mec and bought one from Deej. =
Mistakenly,
I installed it without hiding my default project. Paris =
freaked
and I went through days of turmoil looking to get back =
to where
I was. Paris refused to boot with mecs and no 442 at =
that time.
Next I built another comp to test eds and cables and the =
442. =20
Everything went fine. No probs. This seemed promising.
Next I tried again in the studio with both computers and =
never got a=20
good Paris boot. Every time it wouldn't boot there was =
a Mec attached.
Even the 442 boots were flakey (no patchbay =
connections). I didn't learn=20
anything from this effort.
2 days ago I went to a techs place with the Paris comp, =
Deej's mec
and the 442. We used the mec throughout all testing =
until the end.
Fresh C drive, fresh Paris install.
As soon as the 442 was introduced Paris booted. Likely =
the Deej
mec is faulty but not necessarily.
Today I went back to my original C drive (no default =
proj) and Paris
would not boot with my other Mec that is loaded to the =
gills. I deleted
the Scherzo drivers, reloaded the new ones I just got, =
uninstalled the
subsystem and reloaded it. Once I changed to the 442 =
the system was fine.
Let me rephrase "Paris would not boot" . . . Actually =
it would usually start
up but no audio was available in the patchbay except =
with the 442.
My take is that the introduction of DJ's mec (whether it =
worked or didn't,
let's assume that it worked) was screwy probably by my =
own doing. I
removed it and later shorted a SCSI 2 cable at the =
Master Mec sometime during that
next week. There was smoke in the power supply area so =
I never tried that
Mec again. My other mec was attached at that time. I =
now think it fried something
in their too.
I am trying DJs and my hopefully unfried mec at another =
studio on Tuesday to confirm
that neither works. If I'm wrong then we're back to =
software.
It ain't over till it's over.

In all seriousness - THREE bad MEC's??? What's the =
real
likelihood of that? Unless all 3 PSU's got hit hard =
with a
voltage spike or something weird like that, is it =
really
possible that ALL of his MECs went bad?
