Default Digi002r with Dell Inspiron 8200

I´m am one of thousands who tried Dell Inspiron 8200 with MOTU828 firewire. Didn´t work. I am thinking about trying Digi002r. Anyone tried it with Inspiron 8200?

Thanks

Hi,

yes I did it with the 002. My Inspiron is a 1.6 GHz, 768 MB, extrnal 80 GB FW,
It was a littlebit difficult, but now it works. I did HD recording with 16 tracks (8 analog, 8 ADAT via RME Hammerfall Muktiface). It works!!
But when I try mastering and using plugins, I get CPU overloads very quick, as a test I tried 14 D-Verbs and this is not so much. A collegue succedas with 37 D-Verbs with his Sony VAIO Pemtium M 1,5 GHz

Hi.
I´m wondering, how did you physically hook it up?
Harddrive via onboard firewire or pc-card?
Digi002 via onboard firewire,pc-card or RME(ADAT)?
RME via ADAT(?) or pccard?

Thanks

My FW HD ist connected to the bulit in FW Port, the Multiface (RME) is connected via Cardbus to the PCMCIA Slot. The RME is connected via Fibrechannel to the 002 (8 digital in's via adat)
It works really great. 16 tracks analog are really no problem.
Do the folowing settings at the 8200: Deactivate the Firewire NIC!!!! Or you will get permanent 6085 errors.
Hope to help you

Hi hipeye,

have something forgotten. The 002 is connected via daisy chain to the FW HD!
I noticed no differences between connecting the 002 first to the Inspiron and connecting the FW HD first. But: You really need a external (FW) HD with 7200 rpm. The bulit in HD of the Inspiron is too slow.

Hi splashonline.
Thank you.
My main concern is the built-in FW that seems to be incompatible with my MOTU 828.
Did I get you right, the AUDIO signal from Digi002 goes through RME via ADAT, and the FW via the Harddrive is just for control?
In that case, have you also tried Digi002 directly connected to built-in FW without RME?

Hi Hipeye,

it was a misunderstanding. The FW HD is connected to the Inspiron built in FW port. The digi is connected to the FW HD via firewire cable (what else ). So I have 8 analog channels in Protools via the digi 002.

Further I have connected my RME Multiface to the PCMCIA Slot of the Inspiron via Cardbus Interface from RME. The RME has no Firewire!! So I have again 8 analogue channels for recording. The Multiface has the ability of 8 analogue inputs/outputs and 8 digital inputs/outputs (ADAT Interface). You can route each input to each output, digital and analogue, so I can route the 8 analogue inputs to the digital outputs of the Multiface. The ADAT output can be a db9 interface or a optical connector. So I connected the digital output (ADAT) of the RME to the digital input (ADAT) of the digi 002. You just have to do the right I/O Settings in Protools. That way I have all in all 16 analogue channels in Protools. And it works with 512 Samples (23 ms latency) recording all 16 channels. Great!!!
