Re: 3 Pulsar2 cards+Syncplate on a old Quicksilver G4 and OS

Since I work with two different machines (just like you, one of them only hosts the cards) it's great news for me. :D
I'm looking for a cheap G4 (maybe Quicksilver would be the "perfect" choice?) and test my cards in there with os 9.22.
Since I'm not going to upgrade to sfp 5.0 in a very short time ...

Re: 3 Pulsar2 cards+Syncplate on a old Quicksilver G4 and OS

Really interesting!
Have you ever experienced clicks pops or other issues?
Have you ever "stressed" the system? I mean, running out of dsp power?
What I'm afraid of is that such old G4 couldn't handle so many pci data streaming during a dsp "stress" condition...is that possible? Once somebody told ...

Thank you. In fact, I would try OS9.22. I've got 3 old Pulsar2 cards and Sfp 4.0 so I think it would work. I still have a doubt ...

3 Pulsar2 cards+Syncplate on a old Quicksilver G4 and OS9

Hi...
Just wondering if a setup like this would work perfectly on an old G4 Quicksilver machine, that is 3Pulsar2 cards+Syncplate and Sfp 4.0
Any PCI bandwidth related problem? Any experience? Does anybody actually runs a system like this on a Quicksilver machine?
Thank you!

P.S. Does the G4 have ...

Re: Clicks and pops in two adat ports...

that's a cable whip. you can't get another. it can be rebuilt however. you'll need a soldering iron and eyes and close attention. yes, they can make the card act up.

as to optical cables, basic cables from a reputable maker are fine. basic hosa or whatever.

yes, there is a daughter card attached ...

Hi Dante, thanks. The clicks and pops come from each channel of the adat port (from 1 to 8). They begin as single click then step by step they become more frequent until they crackle continuosly....thank you

Thank you Fluxpod, I will try it. Do I need to clean it? Or maybe only take off and put it back? Thanks again
