possible to switch from classic to plus?

the19thbear · Post by **the19thbear** » Fri Nov 16, 2007 7:37 am

I have a 15( or 14) dsp card with the classic 20=adat, spdif, and unbalanced in/out. and a Wordclock/adat sync plate.
I also have a pulsar 2 card with the classic plus= 20 adat, aes ebu, balanced in/out.

Is it possible to switch between the 2? to swap out the aes ebu, balanced in/out etc.. for the unbalanced, spdif etc..?
I am going to sell my 15 dsp card soon, and i want people to choose between classic or plus.
thanks alot!

yes, the IO Plates are interchangable - as you'd expect in a well thought-out system.

cheers, Tom

Astro,

What about a good USB adaptor for the 4 Port 1U KVM of mine?

I was wanting to get the Intel P35 board.

You sounded like you had a USB adaptor for yours that you used on a Mac.

thanks alot!
can it be done without any special equipment? it seems very straight forward... just unscrew two screws, and put in the new card... right?? I am used to putting electronics stuff together, but one can never be too careful when it comes to scope

yes, that's correct - I have a 4-channel KVM box by D-Link with the old PS2 keyboard/mouse connectors and analog VGA.

Since the Mac is USB only I have a Y-adapter from 2xPS2 to 1xUSB and the trustworthy Cherry keyboard and a Logitec mouse work perfectly in OSX - except a few exotic character mappings.

It's a no-name item (in the true sense of the word - not even a hint of a label) from supermarket, but not dead-cheap (18 Euro?) either.
The first one I tried did not work with the Mac, obviously not all are created equal...

It's one of the best investments I ever did, hit 2x Scroll-Lock plus the number of the screen and whooops, beep, you're in control of the other system

the box even gets along pretty well with a 1680x1050 widescreen the analog (!) way.
A multiple XP switch is probably much easier than one from Windows to Mac

cheers, Tom

yes, it's no big deal, you just have to be careful not to break the plastic screws...
