Topic: HDSPe MADI with HDSPe AES32

Hi,
Is it possible to use on the same mobo 1 MADI PCIe and 1 AES32 PCIe cards with mixing capabilities between both protocols.
My need is to connect my SSL MADI SX and some AES/EBU gears (reverbs, etc)
My DAWS: Pyramix v6 and Protools9, all "native"

Thanks for your help and experiences.

Basically yes via ASIO, but Protools is limited to 32 channels...

Thanks for the reply.
Pyramix has not this limitation, and is lot more powerfull than protools in audio (Pyramix doesn't handle midi).

But I need a precision: is the RME mixer able to root signals between the 2 cards, or is there an independant mixer by installed RME card with no routing between the 2 cards through the mixer?
My goal is to use the direct monitoring facilities of the mixer, with the ability to use a reverb on the monitoring, the reverb being plugged in AES
Or do I need to make both signals (MADI signals and AES) pass through Pyramix, loosing the direct monitoring doing so?

Both mixers are completely independent.
