PCI-Express cards

I thimk all thae particulars of the resonses to the original question are
BS...


the fact is that most now, and all future motherboards for "PC" based
systems
are PHASING OUT
pci slots. period.

with the addition of older UAD cards, it leaves you even LESS OPTIONS.
Lynx needs to release PCIe cards, and EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.
those building comps RIGHT NOW know it especially, and PCI is only
going to get more and more phased out as time goes on.
sure, there's work-arounds, but they aren't cost effective.
the only reason I could get an AES16 right now is b/c some older
motherboards still have a PCI slot. or if youre lucky, 2.
hope they change over soon.
If I want another 8 channels of a/d,d/a
I have to wait till the card comes out in PCIe.
you'd think that they'd be in a hurry to release it, the demand would be
greater....

The AES16e is currenty slated for Sept.
No upgrade program at this point.

That's true if you're a gear queer .Try tellin' that to Brian Eno.

I bought the dual Quad today.
No news on the L22 so I guess I'll get rid of it.

I haven't been asking for one and I suspect a ton of others haven't been either. I do hope that those who need it can get one soon but I'll have no need for one in the next few years.

 

I'm looking to upgrade my desktop and am wondering what sort of slot I can put my nearly 4 yr/old (but working great!) Lynx L22 into.  For instance, one system I'm looking at has an extra "PCI 32bit/33Mhz slot" and also 2 "PCI-X 64bit/100MHz slots with support for 3.3v or universal cards."  Will it only work in the PCI slot or also in the PCI-X slot?

If you (Lynx stuff) are thinking to a new PCIe AES-SRC card, please check this chip from Texas Instruments.

I continue to dream of a usable PCI-X version of a Lynx card.

Just a point of clarification, our LynxTWO/L22/AES16 cards all works just fine with PCI/X slots, but they will not work with PCIe (PCI Express) slots.

No, not a solution for me, I have a PC, this is for Mac. Also appears to be "optimized" for Logic? Something else I can't use(And have no desire too use - traitors.).

Does the thing have any converters of it's own? Actually, from the Apogee web site, it seems to want outboard Apogee converters(Gee, really?) and  "another" card of some sort, to make a "system"? This would be a fairly pricey option, at best, from what little I can gather... I wonder what the "interface" is - the cables/format, etc? XLR/AES? 1/4" TRS? 1/8" mini plug? Impossible for me to read much info on the Apogee site as much of the print is "dark brown" on a black background..? Yes, I could use a new monitor... 

Do you actually have one of these things, Peter, and know much about it, or are you just dialing around the web looking for trouble?(Keep that VP up to date!)

Yes, Bill Gates is sending me nasty notes, too(He's made no money from me in years and he is P - O - 'd...), as I continue to dream of a usable PCI-X version of a Lynx card.
