Re: MAgma PE6R4 and Pro Tools 9 HD
I want to also add my assent to what someone else recently said -- The Magma boxes will never STOP working. They are simply a PCI slot OUTSIDE the box. If they 'turn on' and haven't broken on a component level - they will 'always' work with ProTools. That's the real beauty of the Magma products. It's like we never ask if an electric extension chord is gonna work when we plug a lamp into IT before the wall socket. It's the same thing with Magma Boxes -- think 'electric extension chord'.

Re: MAgma PE6R4 and Pro Tools 9 HD
Why have I read that some Magma boxes only worked through PT 8.something. There was an HD2 PCI that came with a Magma box selling for 2k, but the seller said it would not work with anything beyond 8.1 or something like that. This is why it was priced so low.
What was that likely about?

But the same MAGMA Chassis PCIe 2 slot box I bought 4 years ago works today with ProTools 9HD in a 12 Core MacPro AND in my son's i7 MacBookPro with Magma's PCExpress34 card hanging off it -- without a hiccup. (before I sold my HD that is... LOL!!).. They will WORK forever, gang.. via any software that still allows for communication between a PCI slot and a piece of hardware. any Magma Box = electrical extension cord [of sorts]

And I have to chime in with those users experiencing no problems with their older Magma chassis. I've got the last version of the 4-slot (with the Pericom chip) still working fine on my quad-core Harpertown, running four old PCI cards with the PCI-e host card in the MacPro. And since I don't have drives in the chassis, I found a quiet fan that does the trick in the box that adds no appreciable noise to my environment. I'm looking forward to seeing if this works in a Thunderbolt adapter on a laptop or Mac Mini!

Re: MAgma PE6R4 and Pro Tools 9 HD
i've been working with the pe6r4 (original) since 2008 from pt7 to pt10 without issues so far.
The only issue i had was when i switched 2 process for a core & accel card but the mac would not start. I learned later that rev E & K where not compatibles with earlier rev. |
