Quick question and it's ON TOPIC!
OK, so I'm installing an RME digi9652 Hammerfall and I noticed (gee, I'm
bright, it was sitting right in the package) that there's an additional 8 pin IC that has M52 on it. Now the chip on the board has a W52 on it. I make the wild hair assumption that the W52 is an upgrade chip from the M52, but it would be nice if anyone has information for me on this before I go all wild and lock this computer down. I have an Adaptec SATA board to install as well as a Canopus ADVC 1394 video capture card, so info on this chip question would certainly be appreciated. And yes, I looked at RME's site. -- Roger W.

Thank you, Eric. Makes sense. Too much sense, in fact. Threw me for a
loop looking for some convoluted meaning! g -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio "EricK" wrote in message ... Roger W.

Frankly Roger, I think that you are thinking way to hard. Just put the %$#! card in the machine, load the drivers and see if it makes tunes. For all you know the codes you question are date codes, with the cosmic significance that not all parts of a kind are made on the same day or same month or whatever. But you already knew that, right? |

This of course raises the question as to why they couldn't make one card that works for both, like some of their competition. |

The 9632/9652 are an older generation of card. RME was one of the first to put ASIO in hardware, reducing the load on the host computer significantly. In fact, when releasing flash updates to the firmware on their current products, they are referred to as 'hardware version.' |

As it turns out, it makes sense. W = Windows, M = Mac.
But hey, Arny, with three new boards to install you know better than to assume. Now if I can just find the manual, maybe it would have answered my question, but then again, finding anything right now is still almost a futile effort. Damned remodelling.

Man, I've only begun to get the concrete backer board on the metal stud
frame, so I still have that to finish (tomorrow, probably) and then start putting up the brick facing (after I finish up the siding my contractor never finished). But the grill works and is in place, so even if the patio is not totally finished and the cookstation is only half done, the function of the space is there. But Bev got a call yesterday and is now going out of town for the Labor Day holiday (to Arizona, no less, so I think she'll be out of ear shot), so I think we've got a winner as far as timeframe. Particular day needs working on, but I'm leaning towards Saturday, the 4th because I can get the smoker working early, clean the pool, and by then the patio should be totally in place and I might even have the studio cleaned up and the new baby grand unveiled. Of course, somebody is going to have to help me clean up and I don't want foreign things floating in the pool, nor the dogs to get out of the yard or the cats to get out of the house, but other than that, we might actually get the police over! g So, does the 4th of September work for everybody? John, Dorsey and Delian, Scott and Melissa, Don Cooper, Mike, Gantt, Analogeezer, Phil (Mothra666), and whomever else on RAP that lives in the DC area (ksorry if I forgot anyone)? Bring instruments or not (I have a few). Bring CDs or DVDs or not (that's up to you). Bring your own poison because I'm not taking responsibility for serving any beverages except sodas, iced tea and coffee. Scott, bring me my darned tapes back! The grill has some 730 Sq Inches of cooking space, so don't feel bashful about bringing something to cook. Plus there is the range in the house with a convection oven and a 4 burner gas cooktop. The smoker will already be busy. Did I cover everything? -- Roger W. Norman SirMusic Studio "JoVee" wrote in message ... Roger W. Norman at wrote on 7/15/04 9:45 AM: As it turns out, it makes sense.

I've seen the current state of your Project Hell and it's frustratingly-close-to-finished GREAT!!!! and yeah I know you really know and you;re too damned immersed in teh Awful Details and that's absolutely legit, but MAN you guys made a whole new HOUSE almost in there! Then there's the Killer Grille Patio Installation just outside the door... Bitch all you want: you;ve earned every syllable in teh sweat and mental madness you;ve gone through, but the RESULTS speak loudly and clearly for themselves... it's close to over... even the pool's working... and when are we supposed to christen all this? -- John I-22 (that's 'I' for Initial...)
