but this is not to do with mac os x, but rather changing the pci device id
is this possible? to change the device id of a pci card? editing rom?
the reason is.. for example, i have a delta 410 card.. that on windows lets me use it with protools m-powered, while on mac os x.. its dissallowed by the software (i believe this happens inside the actual executable of the app itself)
the difference in vendor+dev id on this is only 1 character off from that of a delta 1010LT or a delta66 card..
but yet pt m-powered will launch find with those cards installed no problem..
i have *8* of these cards which is why im so interested.. it may only have 4 inputs (2analog, 2digital) but when u stack 3-4 cards in a machine, u quickly get 4,8,12,16 inputs available
im wondering if therse a way to change this one character in the device id of the rom of the pci card itself..
can anyone offer me any guiding advice? is there anyway to hack this device id so that my software will see it as
as an "authorized" card supported by this m-audio version of pt?
seen in the attached image.. the device id of the delta 410 is d638 + this is disallowed by the software
but the cards that do work... are all 1 character different.. d630 (delta 1010), d632(delta66), d633(delta 44), d634 (audiophile 2496), d63b(delta 1010LT)
in fact i think ALL other cards work except this 410 card which has been dissallowed by m-powered for some stupid reason
if there was a way to do this, that would also mean that terratec envy24 cards could be made to work with m-powered aswell... also i read that the roland rpc-1/da-pci (da-2496) is also envy24 based and is supported by m-audios driver..
in imics soundblaster live hack. he changed the vendor/device id of the driver to match the hardware..
here im proposing the opposite.. to change forever the vendor/device id of the actual card itself
