Did Digidesign exchange your Cards cause you had these problems, or where you a beta tester for these new cards anyway? Thanks

Re: Mac Pro/HD3 boot-up problem
For anyone experiencing the problem of their Mac not booting with HD cards installed, please contact tech support for information on how to get your cards swapped.
This problem is due to some changes in PCI bus timing - often the Mac firmware update will fix it, but in those cases it does not, we can provide you with cards that have an updated component to alleviate the problem. |

Re: Mac Pro/HD3 boot-up problem
Will this update be offered up for installation when we check for software updates in the mac OS or is there a site where we can explicitly download the required update?

Re: Mac Pro/HD3 boot-up problem
Hi guys,
I experienced this problem big time most days would take me 3-6 times to get this mac going. ( 2 x Quad 3GHZ Mac Pro 2,1). I learned to live with it because its so random and didnt effect daily use until...... its started randomly restarting itself a few days ago. It would do this no matter what I was doing or had connected to it. I called apple ( its under apple care) and they had me do a permissions repair from the install disc, they reckon that is different from inside the OS. It worked I have had it going for a few days and not once have i even had a shaky start up and its not crashing. Hope this help , and I hope that just because I posted it doesnt start again! tko |

Re: Mac Pro/HD3 boot-up problem
Hi Digidesign Support.
Do I actually have to pay 79 dollars to speak with someone so I can exchange my HD3 which gives me the grey boot up screen? Can I take it to a dealer? I do not have access to the original dealer as they are out of business. Can you please help? It seems unfair that I should have to pay 79 dollars to talk to you to exchange something that is a known hardware bug. Thanks, Daniel |
