Yes I have been out of the loop for a while unfortunately because I have had some serious matters to deal with...

I'll look up Sonic Core and find out more. I've spent a long time learning the Scope cards and as far as my musical future is concerned if thats the right way to put it I considered these cards to be the cards of choice given the I/O capability etc...mixing, synths, sampling and fx... :D

I seriously hope these cards stick around in one way or another because they are terrific when you learn how to use them. I'm no expert on them but I've figured some good ways to configure projects that wouldn't have been possible on the standard stereo in and out cards due to the hardware limitations. No disrespect to these cards as they are simple to use and I did consider going down that road using an external mixer and routing audio in via bussing but the overall performance of Scope made me stick with it. Sorry for going on.... :D

Do Sonic Core have a webpage? - If so what is it? - The Creamware site is still up so have Sonic Core just taken this over or do they have their own web page.

If someone wanted to order a Scope card today where would they order it from?

The theory is that the new Macbook Pro would not handle Scope correctly, i.e. that a native OS9 environment is the only one that would work well with Scope on the Mac. Or at least, that's what I've read elsewhere on this forum.
I was talking about running XP with BootCamp on an Intel Mac, as I thought the original poster was...

if there is a Magma box with Expresscard/34 connector this is not unlikely to work, because BootCamp is nothing else but passing over control to a regular version of Win XP.
A pretty stupid approach for a Mac user, as probably all of his/her software runs under OSX.

BootCamp, Parallels and Crossover Mac are first of all solutions to enable the machine to enter the corporate market, as Windoze compatibility is a must in this domain.

cheers, Tom

Of course, but it is very useful if you have some Windows apps/hardware that you would like to use. IMHO if I was in the market for buying a computer right now - Windows or Mac - it would definitely be a Mac.

I have been also out of the loop but I had been stating the clear fact for years that Creamware was poorly run and everyone jumped on me. Then they were saying that bankruptcy was not the same thing in Germany and that everything would be alright. That was all 100% bullsh*t and I was the lone voice of reason.

But SonicCore do (and inDSP) and they have back more of the original Creamware guys than when Creamware was insolvent, so don't be worrying just yet. You can now buy SonicCore Scope cards instead (same card, different packaging).
