Well i can confirm that db60 to db60 crossover cables do not work on the 1622 :(   no damage to the 1622 but I've still yet to run a digi test to see if the cards suffered. Really would like to use this interface. No way I'm making a cable even if i had the correct pin outs 60 wires is about 50 too many for me to care about messing with. If anyone comes across this rare digilink cable it would be much oblieged to forward me the link. If it's in the USA that is...

I make them, I just need connectors. Im going through a though period unfortunately so I don't have a lot of motivation to do anything.

Will do a "quick n' dirty" tutorial about making the ribbon cable and post it in the forum.

wait what you can make ribbon cables? please share i just ordered 6 888 24

anyone know if standard db60 crossover cables would work to connect a 1622 to a mix card???

I can 100% confirm this.
Purchased one to test this theory this month.
Have to mail it back now :-(

for $12 maybe I try modifying the wires as they simply flip flop some wile to pin locations.

not sure I get the question.

there is not Internal AES / EBU routing that I know of

but.. there was Digidesign Sound Manager...maybe

you could however externally loop a cable back to another interface that is not on the digidesign mix buss.

i want to slave a os9 rig to a modern hdx rig via 2x 192 . one 192 is hooked up to the slave os9 rig via legacy port to a mix core. then i want to send audio to a standalone app namely sonicworx. is this driver my option that works?

Revisiting this thread 10 years after I started it. Going to resurrect this rig and put it back to use after I move my studio to it's new location. Can't wait to get it back up and running!

Might be time to fix a Pro Tools Instant DAW image and host here?

Sure!

I use to install DieHard Instant DAW + Protools any flavour with tuned by tad pack for TDM in that case.

With an Protools with Instant TDM users would use Sony Oxford more easily when restored...
