Don't Throw Away Your Echo Indigo, PCI Overflow Solved!
Posted: Wed Jul 02, 2008 11:58 am
It all started when I was shopping for a Micro SD card for my new RCA mp3 player.
I saw an ad for a PCI card which has a cardbus slot. You see when my laptop died, I got another one and discovered they changed the slot standard rendering my Echo Audio Indigo card useless. The card was only $20 including shipping so I decided on the spot to buy it. I happened to also have a firewire cardbus card and the first thing I wanted to do is try that because every time I use my firewire drive, it crashes my Scope when I use the Ambience. My Firewire was from the motherboard so I thought using a card would make a difference and it did. Now I have no more PCI overflow when using Scope and Ambience. Today is a good day. This is just a cheap HP AMD computer but it works much better than my old Intel computer I built 6 years ago. I have the Luna 2 and The Scope home in it. The Pulsar I and SRB I is upstairs in the old computer. Basically a very expensive doorstop. The only thing is I do not have word clock now. There is no space for it. I could drill a hole and mount it inside the case but I am not sure if the Pulsar Wordclock works on the Scope card. If anyone knows that would be great.
