Hi at the end my P2 stop working... i got no sample rate and a fixed red dot in that setting screen.
Usually i remove the card, booted, then reinstalled it and everything went well, but not this time...
I removed all of the peripherals on my pci bus and try all the slots and i got same problem.
I'm running 98se with an asus a7v and this problem shows up in both Pulsar Os 2.04 and 3.01.
Any ideas ?

im having sometimes this problem because the stdm cable i have linking three cards is not perfect to fit the pulsar2 and two pulsar1 and is stretched, and some times moves the pulsar2 from a correct placement in the bus.
so the same blinking effect is due to the card's unstable placement.
if you don't have stdm cable and only one card it could be that the motherboard is not perfectly aligned to the case, and the pulsar card moves a little from the slot.
so it shouldn't be something dramatic.
when i had this symptom, i tried to move very slightly the card from outside just moving a little the i/o cable and magically the blinking went away and the samplerate was back, sometimes automatically, sometimes switching from master to slave and to master
again.
this pointed my attention to the card's sitting and excluded software issues.
maybe the blinking of the slave light could
be due to the fact that the i/o section is on a daughterboard and the uncorrect alignement moves the contacts between the dsp card and the daughterboard, wich is just pressed on the pulsar and not soldered.
i hope it helps.
ciao, alfonso.
