"Thanks for your reply.
I have figured something out. I have now installed the 4 cards in the chassis. I found out that after turning the computer off, if I disconnect the EC34 card from the computer, then first turn the chassis and the audio…"

HELP! ProTools 10HD Magma 4 slot and new MacBook Pro 17 Late 2011
Started this discussion. Last reply by Magma Dec 18, 2011. 17 Replies 0 Likes
I was using a MacBook Pro 15" 4,1 (Early 2008) just fine with a 4-slot Magma chassis housing an HD4 ProTools system, connected via ExpressCard 34. I just bought a new MacBook Pro 17" late 2011 8,3 in…Continue

Can Magma please comment on the compatibility of our current Magma PCI expansion chassis with OSX Lion? Will we need to update drivers, cables, interfaces, etc? I own a 4 slot and a 1 slot, and have…Continue

"I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem with this particular machine or a more generalized problem with all late 2011 MacBook Pros. That will determine if I exchange this computer for a new one, or just send it back and look for something…"

"Question for Magma... Will it matter which slots the cards are plugged in to in the 4-slot chassis? I have the Core Card installed in the bottom slot (when having the chassis flat rack mounted) and the Accel cards connected from that one up. Would…"

"I have now tested starting the MacBook Pro 17 with an external drive that has 10.6.8 and ProTools 9.0.3 which used to work just fine. Same issues. Only recognizes one card. With two cards, computer starts but doesn't recognize the PCI cards.…"

"The session I am using has now no TDM plugins. All plugins are Native, so it should not be using the PCI bus. It has 41 total channels, it is using 76 out of 96 voices and 59 out of 512 TDM slots. CPU (Native) when idle hovers around 55%. When idle…"

"One more thing I have noticed. With only 1 card running in the 4-slot chassis, this is the first time that I have PCI bus errors (too slow). The meter in ProTools goes red. Never before had it gone past 15% or so, and that was with 4 cards in the…"

HELP! ProTools 10HD Magma 4 slot and new MacBook Pro 17 Late 2011
I was using a MacBook Pro 15" 4,1 (Early 2008) just fine with a 4-slot Magma chassis housing an HD4 ProTools system, connected via ExpressCard 34. I just bought a new MacBook Pro 17" late 2011 8,3 in order to upgrade my system, the only apple portable that still has an EC34 slot. When hooking my Magma chassis, the computer won't boot. I get a blue screen and nothing else... This is with Lion OX 10.7.2, 8Gb RAM newly installed ProTools HD 10. Turning it off, and hooking the EC34 card back to my…See More

"Ok. It finally worked with only 1 card. Very frustrating. Is this an Avid issue or is this Apple's implementation of Thunderbolt that crippled the ExpressCard port?
One last question. I also have a 1-slot Magma chassis. Will it work with that…"

"Thanks for the tip. I removed two cards, left a Core and Accel only. The MacBook Pro 17 now starts normally, but it doesn't recognize the EC34 card at all. I ran digitest and it doesn't see the cards. Also, in system profiler, PCI cards,…"

"Yes it's the new MacBook Pro 17 with thunderbolt, HD4 (core, 2 ACcels, and 1 Process, all PCI), PTHD10 works fine with Lion 10.7.2 in my other systems. Again, if I just switch computers, all other things being equal, my MacBook Pro 15"…"

Mauricio Ardila replied to Ed Williamson's discussion 'Would you buy a Thunderbolt-Expansion from Magma'
"Yes, if it supported PCI-X cards such as ProTools.
Even better, can Magma give us owners of their PCI-X chassis just a card with a thunderbolt connection to switch the e34 or PCI-e cards we're using ? Is that possible?"

"Just as a side note. I have installed OSX Lion in a 15" MacBook Pro 4,1 (Early 2008), 2.6Ghz Core 2 Duo, with 6Gb RAM. ProTools of course does not even open. BUT, Avid CoreAudio works just fine through a Magma 4-slot via ExpressCard 34 loaded…"

Magma current PCI expansion systems compatibility with OSX Lion
Can Magma please comment on the compatibility of our current Magma PCI expansion chassis with OSX Lion? Will we need to update drivers, cables, interfaces, etc? I own a 4 slot and a 1 slot, and have at work several 6 slots, all PCI (not PCIe) expansion systems. Some connect via a host PCI or PCIe card and some connect via Express34 cards to mobile systems. Will those be compatible with OSX Lion when released?If anyone has a copy of the developer or gold master Lion, can they confirm if the…See More
