Default Need Help with installing an old 7 Slot Expansion Chassis by SBS

We have an old 7 Slot Expansion Chassis (MH477) made by SBS for Digidesign. Trying to find out how to hook it up to our G4 and Pro Tools 6.4 TDM system. The Expansion Chassis has the PCI farm and core cards already installed. We have a host pci card already installed in the G4 that's currently routes to our 888/24 I/O interface. no SCSI card in the G4 though. I'm not sure what I need and I can't find any information how to connect this expansion chassis.
If anyone is familiar with these and could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Default Re: Need Help with installing an old 7 Slot Expansion Chassis by SBS

I've got a Digidesign 7 PCI chassis which is made by SBS (it has the digidesign logo printed on the front plate as opposed to the SBS) so I think we're talking about the same thing here.

I've installed the host card to the first slot of my G4 and all the the Mix cards sit in the Chassis. If I recall correctly the PCI Slots in the chassis are labeled 1 to 7 so you would put your Mix Core to Slot1 and all the subsequent Mix Farms the to the rest (and course interconnected with a ribbon cable). If the PCI slots are not numbered then the fist slot is the first on the left.

You might be able to find more help here:

I think this subject might be more suitable for the Legacy Digidesign Hardware and Software.

Come on Apple, bring on the new Mac Pros. I can't wait to jump to a sparkling, shiny and brand new HD system.
