Using 888/24 and 888/16 Simultaneously

[Rail Jon Rogut]

The original cable will work.. you use less DSP by using a Y cable.. make sure in your harware setup that it's an 888 and not an 888/24.. that's all there is to it.

I recently purchased a used 888/16 for it's digital in/outs with my mix cubed system.

Mix cubed w/ 888/24 on one card and 1622 on the other. One card empty.

What is the best way to attach the 888/16?

1. A splitter cable and connect the 888/16 and the 88/24 on one card?

OR

2. Connect the 888/16 to the empty card (will it take up an extra chip this way?

Also, do I need a new cable to attach the 888/16 to the mix3 system or will the original one work.

Any info would be appreciated.
