(so called 'packed byte' formats) are queued up to 32 bit data packets by special copy routines in the driver. These routines are written in Assembler, causing no measureable system load. The supported modes with other Operating Sys- tems than Windows depend on the OS and/or the corresponding drivers. User's Guide DIGI32 © RME... -

9.2 Windows 9x DIGI32 uses the Device Manager for configuration. Unfortunately accessing the DIGI32 inside the Device Manager is not as simple as it could be. To shorten the laborious way to the tab Settings a link is copied to the desktop (C:\Windows\ Desktop), its icon to C:\Windows\. -
Page 12: Clock Modes - Synchronization
In order to connect more than one DIGI32 to a digital mixing desk they must all get the same clock(ed input signal). This is easy to achieve: just connect at least one input of each card to one output of the mixing desk. -
