SampleCell II Plus: Pro Tools 5.1.1 required for more than one SampleCell II or SampleCell II

*Incompatibility with older DSP Farms and SampleCell II Cards & The Blue & White G3 and G4.
A rev "QC" or later of the AMCC chip is required for Blue & White G3 and G4 compatibility. This
rev number appears on the AMCC chip following number "5933". Older versions can cause your
computer to hang while booting or when launching Pro Tools or DigiTest. QC or higher chip is
required for compatibility with the PCI 2.1 spec. Ways to identify these boards are in the grid
below:
Board S/N's Below Manufactured Before Board Rev Before
DSP Farm I FF09226 7/9/97 Rev H
SampleCell II HH02001 5/20/97 Rev D
If a customer has previously updated their board (or received a refurbished card), the serial
number will remain the same, but the board rev will be updated (and the AMCC chip will have
"QC" or later). Cards with the rev "Q" chip can be upgraded. Please contact Digidesign Technical
Support
by phone to arrange for a return authorization. Registration is required.
Note: All SampleCell II Plus cards are newer, and therefore already have the compatible
chip.(The SampleCell II Plus cards are the same as the original SampleCell II PCI cards, but with
the included 32 MB of RAM soldered on the card)
