Huge Digidesign PCI Express Core HD card BSOD problem

[Gorazd Koncar]

Hi,

I have several latest MAC PRO machines in my studio.
All of them have also Vista 64 Bit ultimatte installed
for Boot Camp so that I also normaly use all eight
cores for render farm purposes on the each MAC PRO
machine.

But one of the MAC PRO machine which is 20 % used for
Digidesign PRO TOOLS hard disk recording with the
Digidesign CORE HD PCI Express card under MAC OSX
works fine under MAC OSX, but always immediately
BSOD crashes when I boot to WIN Vista 64 Bit Ultimate
for render farm requrements with the Digidesign Card present.

If such card is not present in the system
the system works also great under WIn Vista 64 bit Ultimate
render farm environment also if I have hooked on it
the Tc Electronic Konnekt X32 with the yellow mark sign as
uninstalled!

I know that Pro Tools software is supported only by
32 bit Vista or 32 bit Xp or MAC OSX but I do not want to install
Pro Toools software or even not the basic device drivers
for the card under Win Vista 64 bit because there are none for the
Win Vista 64 bit Ultimate and I want to use the Pro Tools system
under MAC OSX what is just fine.

I just want that the card is not installed under Win Vista 64 bit
and that it has the yellow sighn without any driver
and that it does not crash immediately the MAC PRO machine under
Win Vista 64 bit Ultimate when such machine is used
for the render farm environment. So that the Digidesign card
is only present in the system.

I have not seen the BSOD on the Win Vista 64 bit
Ultimate for years now!

Are the Digidesign Core HD PCI Express cards so badly
designed that they crash the MAC PRO machine even
if there are no drivers present or installed for such cards
under Win VISTA 64 bit Ultimate what now happens
to my Mac Pro machines?

Could you please send me the new firmware for the
card and the installer for it under MAC OSX in order
that I can sucessfuly use such card as uninstalled
card under Win Vista 64 bit environment without BSOD
crashing the computer so that the card shall only
be present in the computer?

I look forward to hearing from you soon and thank you
in advance.

Yours faithfuly,

Gorazd.
