Re: New Hackintosh / PT7 monster HD PCI Rig
Mike,
My big problem was not realizing the iBoot disk had to be a boot volume--doh! I finally managed to make a valid CD from Disk Utility and entered the wonderful world of Hackintosh last night. Here's where I stand now: on my second install I seem to have gotten all the install orders correct. I've even got the beast to recognize the graphics card (ASUS EN210) and it runs pretty darn snappy. I ended up using EasyBeast, did a reboot, installed the NVidia drivers from tonymac, rebooted again, and Bob's yer uncle. Unfortunately the last round of MultiBeast killed the Ethernet, so I'm on the prowl for fixes. I installed Lnx2Mac under MultiBeast, but so far no luck. It's probably time to install the rest of the RAM and the record drives, no? Did you have to do any MultiBeast magic to get the system to recognize your HD cards? Peter

Re: New Hackintosh / PT7 monster HD PCI Rig
Here's my exact sequence:
Boot iBoot Install 10.6.3 retail Reboot into 10.6.3 (via iBoot) Install 10.6.7 update Install current MultiBeast, choosing "User DSDT" and installed "Bootloader w/Chimera" Loaded into "Extras" the version of "Mach_Kernel" that came with iBoot (I wimped out and used this) Reboot Installed Pro Tools and everything worked fine from there on out..... At no point did I ever install drivers for anything. Good luck! |

Re: New Hackintosh / PT7 monster HD PCI Rig
Everything is up and going. 4 TB of WD data drives, system, PT, and Waves on a 120G SSD, 16G of memory, ethernet and graphics functioning well.
I'm in the process of buying a used D-Control and installing it in my truck, so the new items on the agenda are installing the cards and testing with a 192, probably Monday. With the new fabrication we have to do the console will probably take a week or so to install. It doesn't have a monitor arm, just a hole where it used to be, so I've got to research that. Also need to get a new screen for the arm, something large enough for my tired eyes. But oh so exciting! I've named the new machine the Beast (which I did before reading about MultiBeast), and it has all the components mentioned in a D-Storm rack case. It's pretty heavy, so we'll have to support it from the back as well as the rack ears. The truck has air ride, and none of my previous CPUs have had any vibration issues. The HVAC keeps the machine room pretty cold, and most of the fan noise is behind the wall. I did the build thinking about how much the box would get shaken around, so I think it's pretty solid. Once I have all the parts in I'll try to post a picture. What are you using the other PCI slots for? My mind keeps drifting around finding an old PCI Accel and taking a stab at making an HD4 system, if that would even work. Once I can afford it, sell all but 2 of the 192s, get two of the Madi interfaces and have 128 tracks available for record. For now I'll stay HD3, maybe put an ESATA card in the 4th slot. Thanks for your help! Peter

Re: New Hackintosh / PT7 monster HD PCI Rig
Just as soon as I get 9.0.5 running under HD, i'll publish pictures and the Newegg list. But it sounds to me like Mike661 is the man! In the meantime, anyone interested in three Yamaha 02R96 V2 consoles?
Peter

Re: New Hackintosh / PT7 monster HD PCI Rig
Hi there,
I'm in pretty much the same situation. Pro tools HD 2 accel, 3 x 192. Looked into the same mobo, but I'm having a hard time ordering the thing. Where did you order yours? And one more question: Is it possible to use the on board graphics or only with a graph card? I use 2 monitors but I see only one card in the completed builds. Are you using just 1 screen, or combine with mobo graph output... thanks |

Re: New Hackintosh / PT7 monster HD PCI Rig
You can use the integrated video as MrJoshua's build has indicated that has been working successfully (look at the top of this thread). As far as the multiple monitors go...you can run multiple monitors from one single slot PCIe video card also. I've been doing it for years (two 30" Dells no prob).

Re: New Hackintosh / PT7 monster HD PCI Rig
Peter, I'm glad to hear you got it working!
I also noticed Newegg just stopped carrying the board, and I can't seem to find any other boards like it. |
