our 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.

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
