Valis - incidentally, I think those Powercore mk2 cards are the same spec as the Powercore Firewire (the full rack box, not the compact version).

I've used the Firewire box, and I remember reading in the documentation that it is not recommended to use multiple Powercore Firewire boxes, due to firewire bandwidth issues.

Agreed

Unstable pc's are built on cheap mobos or with
an unfortunate (or thoughtless) choice of components. I reckon a lot of people also tend to pop down to their local crappy pc store for some memory or a HD & in honesty, though i've done it myself, it's stupid. ....full stop.
I'm thinking back to the Atari Falcon & the fact that all those years ago, you could record Digital Multitrack Audio into it, on a slow processor & HD (by 2day's standards, anyway) It's hilarious, actually

Ah so you're saying that the firewire box preceded the new PCI card. That may be, I don't use Poco here. Still stands as a decent example for the PCI naysayers.

Absolutely
