Introduction

System Requirements

• IBM PC compatible PCI bus Windows 95 computer
• DS2416-compatible audio software

System Notes

The DS2416 can be used in any IBM PC-compatible PCI bus personal com-
puter running Windows 95. Since the PCI bus standard relies on the Pentium
processor, computers with earlier processors are not supported. The DS2416
requires a single 5 V PCI expansion bus slot, and cannot be used in 3.3 V PCI
slots. It's compliant with PCI version 2.1, requires one IRQ (interrupt
request), but no DMA (Direct Memory Access). Since it's a PCI card, IRQ set-
tings are made automatically. PCI bus speeds other than 33 MHz are not sup-
ported.
Processor type, memory, and hard disk requirements are dependent on the
controlling software, not the DS2416. The supplied device driver requires a
few hundred kilobytes of disk space. Although the DS2416 supports 8-track
simultaneous recording and 16-track simultaneous playback, actual perfor-
mance will depend on the capabilities of your computer and audio software.

Compatible Software

Any software that supports Windows MME (Multimedia Extensions), includ-
ing the Windows 95 Media Player accessory, can be used with the DS2416 for
recording and playback. To use the mixing functions, however, requires soft-
ware that supports the DS2416 mixer. The following software companies are
supporting the DS2416.
• C-Mexx
• Cakewalk
• Canam Computers
• Emagic
• IQS (Innovative Quality Software)
• Musicator
• SEK'D
• Sonic Foundry
• Steinberg
