001 along side motu 2408 - different courses for these horses!

[shoo]

I know its been discussed loads - and I have searched, and i know they dont work together... BUT I want to know for sure before I buy!
I want to put a DIGI 001 in our G4 that currently has a Motu 2408, purely for the fact we can use PT with the Digi 001. We use the Motu with VST and Logic.
B]null[/B]Will the software work with 2 cards in the machine?
Are you doing it?

I have the same question. I'm considering upgrading. I'm currently running a 9600 with both a Digi001 and a MOTU 2408 on board. But, each has its own master PCI bus slot. Of course, the 9600 was the last six PCI slot machine Apple made.

If the cards are PCI master bus dependent, then they probably cannot reside in the in the three of four slot Macs made subsequent to the 9600. Is this the case? Would using a Magma case running out of the Master PCI bus solve the problem?

If what you mean is will the two PCI cards (+ audio interfaces) be able to work at the same time, I've never tried this.
If you wonder if the two cards can reside in a G4's PCI slots (mine for instance...) without conflicting, the answer is yes.
I have both 001 and 2408(PCI324) and never had a problem, even with my previous G3.

Yeah, thanks! PT wont read the Motu, so its useless, but we already have the motu for TDIF in VST and Logic etc. the 001 will be purely for imputting audio from analogue tape into PT (for timestamp purposes). Just didn't want to spend £800 for something we've already got and have to ditch one.

Thank you, Mr. T.

I was looking for your second response. That is, simultaneous residence, alternating use; not simultaneous use (Which Logic Audio can do).

I've got a Tascam MX-2424. I use the MOTU 2408 (PCI-324 card) to transfer 24 tracks of audio back and forth from it to the Mac. If I have to choose between the Digi001 and the MOTU 2408 when upgrading to an new Mac, Weellll. . . .
