Nice.

Re: digidesign hd system help
 

I tried to get rid of the cards but to know luck no one bought them so I said F it and went all in

I got two 192's with analog I/O's
A apogee DA 16 (the purple one)
Digidesign Magma IPC-611 Expansion Chassis

I'm waiting for my flex cables & digi link cables to come in Tuesday. If everything runs smoothly i will definitely turn it into an hd6 system

Re: digidesign hd system help
 

Interesting choice of chassis, what made you pick that one?? Are you sure this works with Pro Tools 10 HD and what ever computer/OS you plan on running

I did some research on this particular Chassis it will work with Windows 7 and pro tools 10. I got lucky on the purchase on reverb.com
It was only $140 comes with all the accessories.

Nice one I’ve not heard of that chassis.

That chassis, from factory looks to be literally just a chassis with no internal board/backplane.
If what you bought actually has a board in it it's probably going to be a PE6R4i or EB7 board depending on whether it's PCIe or PCIe.
Those and the P7 64bit are the only chassis that Avid qualified and officially supported for TDM with PT10 as far as I remember.

here is the unit and the model number

Re: digidesign hd system help
 

That is the non Magama, Digidesign "Expansion HD" chassis which used a network cable to link.
Those units stopped being supported at PT8HD and they were absolultey diabolical in use.
They induced double latency inherently in themselves and I had to run the PT playback engine no lower than 512 for mine to work which meant you were running with 1024 samples of latency and obviously made them next to useless for tracking.
What you basically have here is a second (embedded) computer running as an expansion over ethernet which just doesnt have the bandwidth for PCI/PCIe, they are fine for industrial applications such as serial and RS4xx etc but not for full fat PCI/PCIe.
What you need is a P7R4 or a PE6R4i because the links used between them have enough bandwidth to cope with the PCI Bus bandwidth.
I've owned every single iteration of expansion chassis that was qualified for PTHD and this one was by far the worst (Digidesign should never have sold them IMHO), get rid of it before you give yourself a nervious break down through stress!

Anyway here's the support documentation, Good luck !
