Yea, firmware updated! Here's how:
1. Returned 003 Rack for a replacement- cleared up the Audio Clock and Sample Rate error.
2. Returned Gigabyte w/p45 chipset motherboard for an ASUS P5K Deluxe w/P35 chipset.
3. Installed SIIG Digi-approved Firewire card.
4. Disabled “Load Sytem Services” and “Load Startup Items” in msconfig, and every device possible.
5. Enabled DMA, disabled hard drive Indexing.
6. Loaded the latest PACE drivers.
7. Deleted Digidesign Databases folder, DAE Prefs folder, Volume folder.
8. Removed my PCI Linksys wireless card so the firewire card is the only PCI device.
I now get error -6085 after one or two minutes of playback, and my comuter is useless except for ProTools, but these are subjects for another time. Thanks for all the suggestions and insights!
