Jan Hammer from my beloved Mahavishnu Orchestra w/ Scope ?

I recently was chatting to a DSP lover from DAWBench and thought I'd share this info.
_____________________________________________________________

I love those Scope cards. I was running 4 of them in a Magma (I know......you're not supposed to be able to do this do this, but when I was told the Jan Hammer was doing it, I had to try it and it does work if you've got a mobo with a good chipset and your linking cables aren't too long). The only reason I switched to RME was due to the fact that I wanted to work at 88.2 rather than 96k and there were some problems with that at the time and also I wanted to have the option to move to 64 bit and I didn't see any path to go there on the horizon. In retrospect, neither of these issues were such a big deal after all and I miss my Scope stuff. Some majorly nice hardware there, and a great support forum (at least, last I looked)

Sounds pretty sweet, hut I have heard from here this cannot be done.

Is this true?

@ Any rate, It's nice to see guys like Larry Seyer, Jan Hammer, Hans Zimmer, Craig Anderton, etc. LOVE SCOPE !!

Yes, Thank You.

How is this possible to run 4 Scope cards in a Magma from a regular motherboard ( hardware Computer part I believe ).

Can one actually access 60 DSP's for a project?

Which would be the best motherboard for that?
