Topic: Just passing thru - Hammerfall 9652 HDSP PCI questions.
I see no area that is specific for the PCI model. I see the PCI-E model has an area. Does this mean that the PCI is legacy gear that has lost support - specifically Win 7 x64?
My interest is this:
I have a legacy Frontier Dakota PCI card that has done me a good job for a long time. It has to go because Frontier is going a different direction. I can't run SONAR X2 x64 (without crashes) because of this card's drivers. However, I can run Studio One 2.5 x64 with no problem. I have one PCIe slot and it's occupied by a UAD-2 card. (Yeah, legacy motherboard as well)
I also have other pieces of Frontier hardware. Two Tango 24 AD/DA ADAT converters and a Frontier Sierra midi interface. I'm trying to utilize the Tangos a little longer. The Sierra can go away if I have at least 2 midi inputs. BTW, if it isn't apparent, I'm running Win 7 x64 and will be for as long as I can.
My idea is to try to buy a Hammerfall 9652 HDSP PCI card in used condition at a price point of (>$300.00) as a transition piece to use until I finally end up with a Fireface 800 UFX or something along that line (USB or Firewire) in a year or so. I intend to hang on to one of the Tangos to utilize the Adat input of the Fireface.
So, what do you think?
