Z-Link cable - question

Post by hifiboom »

recently i bought an xite-1 and i want to connect via Z-Link cable to my A16.

If I don't get it wrong, z-Link cable = firewire cable.

So I am going to buy one, but what is the right one ? 6P or 9P connector?

Congrats and welcome to the club, hifiboom.
I have a S|C "blackface" A16U connected to XITE-1 w/ 2 short 6-pole FiWi cables.
Both in a (small) rack,- works perfect.

With that type of plug only do connections with both devices powered down.
There is some tolerance of plug/socket that can lead to wrong power connections.
I’ve seen at least half a dozen fried circuit boards for that reason (external HD enclosures).

congrats to your Xite 8)

Great! You're all set now. Time to feel the ultimate power of the Sharc Universe!!!
(then get back to work on that SDK! :D :D :D)

Just kidding of course.
You did some really fine work on that Classic Filter Delay way back when.

Cheers

I can not even start SDK at the moment.

Licence is on my Scope Pro Board. Acually i have the raw XITE-1, then a scope pro board with all that extra stuff. But i guess licensing is not across PCI to XITE-1

I would also like to open my development projects.
