I purchased an 003 console about one year ago. It came w/Bomb factory and Protools 8. My long term goals were to run Protools 9 with a windows based computer.
I finally saved up enough money to buy a computer. I purchased a DellXPS i7CPU w/12GB RAM
3.8 Ghz. with windows 7. I thought this would be more computer than I needed. Now, I’m wondering if I blew it.

First off, I needed to install a fire wire connector. The first card I purchased was a 2 port Firewire 400 card. Everything hooked up fine, but the console does not seem to be doing much. I can operate the transport controls and a few other switches, but that is about it. I then purchased a 3 port Firewire 800 card (thinking this might be my problem). The new card required a Firewire 400 to 800 conversion cord. After installing the card, the unit started not responding. I ended up pulling out the 800 card and going back to my 400 (which operates the transport). I’ve been recording, but often the computer stops to tell me I’m running out of CPU space. My 003 is nothing more than a fancy transport control device. I was expecting to see all of the lights and channels respond and light up as I use them.

Does anyone have experience trying too hook up a PC based computer to an 003 and Protool 8?
I could sure use some help.
Thanks PK
