| Do The New Paris Driver(s) Work? [message #101524] |

Hey everyone, been away from the forum. I've notice that new Driver(s) has
been coded for Paris. Before I part with any money, I need to know the following..
1) Do they work?
2) Stability
3) What OS's are supported? XP-Pro, SP2, Sp3, Vista Ultimate?
Thanks

I can vouch for them working on my own computer - it isn't multi-CPU but
they certainly haven't broken anything I'm aware of. Point of fact none of
the betas have been anything but solid for me. As far as the multi-CPU
users, the reports back are great so far, and Mike's been running them
solidly himself.
I would say if you're contemplating getting into multi-CPUs, or if you've
ever been inconvenienced by difficulty running multiple ADAT cards in one
MEC under XP, this is the absolute "must-have" upgrade of the last five
years (since the XP drivers hit).
Consider this too - if any issues reveal themselves post-release, these
drivers are written by someone who's actually an active part of this NG. I
reckon you're going to get a heck of a lot more responsiveness from Mike if
any issues crop up than we've been previously conditioned to expect in the
world of PARIS :D
AFAIK, they're XP only, not Vista. Dunno about the specific service packs,
but we've not been told SP3 was to be avoided. Having said that, I'm running
them on XP SP2.

Hi you guys,
I am in the beginning stages of setting this up on a quad core.
I'll post results here as they come. I'm heading down to start
installing EDS cards now.

Great Tom, please do keep us posted with your specs and results. I am
staring down the road of multicore/modern CPUs myself, pocket book in hand.
Soon.........!!!!
Thanks

Just as an aside - it's nice to see the community in the process of
reclaiming the word "soon" and giving it a "non-ironic" meaning once again.

Hi Mike,
I've had mountains of problems with video sharing, scherzo and UAD-1,
SATA controllers and scherzo.
Maybe with your driver work, PCIe and UAD-2 our IRQ problems
have been minimized. I do have 5 EDS, Creamware, UAD-2, dual head graphics
8x8 Midisport, Tranzport and PS2 and wireless key/ms.
I'm staying on the safe side. I am bringing your drivers into the rig after
I
do a backup. I also have to get 3 Mecs, 442 and wordclock cooking here.
I'll be busy tonight!

I have tested my AMD quad with the new drivers for some hours and no
problems at all have showed up.
