does anyone know if this cards driver will work under osx Tiger?
from what i can see it most likely was last officially supported under Panther

digging deeper into the driver file i find:

This driver was tested under Jaguar 10.2.8 and Panther only. Older versions of OS X are not and will not be supported.

if anyone has any info about it working or not working under osx tiger 10.4 that would be helpful info

[chrisNova777]

here is the macosx Driver (10.2.8+)
found from here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20060623191149/http://www.rme-audio.com/english/download/drivers.htm

apparently the driver is not INTEL compatible;
but there is a chance it may work on OSX TIGER on a PPC G4
(many PST cards are not electrically compatible with the G5)

does anyone know if the RME 96/8 PST works on windows 7? 

apparently it is rumoured to work fine under windows 7 32bit with the XP driver
but not under 64bit

I think it will work on any 32bit version of windows, windows 10-32bit probably works with the same 2.11 driver

i can confirm that the DIGI 96/8 PST does indeed work under OSX TIGER 10.4.11 on a powermac G4 using the posted OSX driver.. it is a bit confusing though.. using DIGI96 settings app is required

i've just tested it on a 1.25Ghz MDD with 750MB of RAM + a USB 2.0 NEC card, Radeon 9000 Pro Graphics

RME AEB8-0 (output) & RME AEB8-I (input) 4xSTEREO TRS Analog Expansion Boards
https://archiv.rme-audio.de/old/english/aeb/aeb48o.htm
https://archiv.rme-audio.de/old/english/aeb/aeb48i.htm
therse also AEB4-0 + AEB4-I boards apparently. the "4" boards are mono and the "8" boards are stereo.

The AEB8-O (Analog Expansion Board) adds four analog outputs in professional quality to all ADAT capable RME cards.

The AEB8-O offers 8 outputs with 4 stereo TRS jacks. Usual insert cable can be used to split the connectors from stereo jack to mono jacks. It is also possible to drive up to 4 stereo headphones directly. Level adjustment +4 dBu/-10 dBV, 106 dBA SNR and highest suppression of PC-noise guarantee perfect sound quality.

COMPATIBILITY NOTES   
Top


HDSP 9652
Two AEBx-I and two AEBx-O or two TEB can be connected and operated simultaneously, in all possible combinations. One TEB can be used together with either one AEBx-I or AEBx-O.
 

DIGI96 SERIES

AEBs use the internal ADAT interface of the DIGI cards. Therefore they do not work with the DIGI96 (which did not support ADAT.) To operate the AEB4-I and AEB8-I the used DIGIs must have the connectors ST6/7 on board (for the Word Clock Module.) These were not present on the very first cards of the DIGI96 series (1998 to beginning of 1999.)

One AEBx-I and one AEBx-O can be connected and operated simultaneously, in all possible combinations. Or one TEB.
 

HAMMERFALL DSP MULTIFACE / DIGIFACE

Multiface and Digiface use the Hammerfall DSP PCI card. This card has no internal inputs or outputs. Therefore no Expansion Boards can be used.
 

HAMMERFALL SERIES

An operation with the Hammerfall or Hammerfall Light requires board revision 1.5 or higher, because the internal connectors ADAT1Out, ADAT2Out and ST7 were not implemented in earlier versions.

One AEBx-I and two AEBx-O can be connected and operated simultaneously, in all possible combinations. Or one TEB and one AEBx-O.
