today i setup a HD 2 System with 64bit expansion chassis under OS9.2.2 with Pro Tools 5.3.1 .
First DigiTest dont find the cards in the expansion chassis (digidesign 7 slot PCI-X)
the update ( DigiTest 5.3.1 r2 ) help and diaplayed the first HD core card , the HD process card (slot2) is not found.
Update the firmware of the Audio Interface 96io failed . my is comming with firmware 4.9 and 3.0 ist what Digitest want to downgrade .
Pro Tools 5.3.1 is launching but 80% of all windows are blank . hardware setup is working and the System usage window displayed both hd cards.
i think all th hd hardware on mac os9 is on beta testing stage - its much better to work with th mix system !!!
fore any question , please contact me ...
the board is not dead
edit : all the sound making plugins from Pro tools mix are not working with PT 5.3.1 and HD Hardware ...(very very bad

)
