Release of PLX CardBus for Pro Tools Products

Mar 21, 2005

The Magma Engineering and Compatibility Test Group has determined that some Pro Tools users with Magma CardBus card (PN: 01-04551-02) and the current PCI bridge on the expansion chassis, may experience computer lock-up or clicks and pops in audio when using Playback Engine sizes of 2 or more DSPs. The Magma Engineering and Compatibility Test Group has also determined these issues may be alleviated by swapping out the original Magma CardBus card (PN: 01-04551-02) with a different version of the Magma CardBus card (PN: 01- 04551-03).

MAGMA Allin1 Driver for Solaris 9 Sparc SBus

Oct 09, 2003

The driver for Solaris 9 on Sbus machines was released and posted to the website this morning. When installing a new MAGMA driver, be sure that you perform the ‘pkgrm’ of the old driver and that you remove (rm -r) the MAGMAsp (or MAGMApci) folder from /var/spool/pkg before you extract the new driver from the tar file. Failure to do so may cause you to load some files from the old driver and give you false messages.

Jul 15, 2003

This CDROM is a significant change from the previous MAGMA CDROM disks. It will have a brand new Windows Cardbus Driver on it for the standard 33Mhz products, but also the driver needed for Windows for the New 64bit/66Mhz system. We will also be incorporating drivers and utilities for other MAGMA products onto a single CDROM to better insure that the latest drivers available for all MAGMA products go out with every new device. This includes our serial products for Sun Microsystems computers, PCI and Sbus versions.
