Eron, I'm wondering, since you'll be shipping speed razor soon, if you have any tips on making the PAR work under NT? I figure you must be able to do it if you're shipping software for it. Is there any chance of getting the PAR to work under NT with Razor Pro? I really cannot afford to shell out $700 right now just to get the PAR to work. Will In:sync be supporting Razor Pro under NT? I sure hope so. It runs fine, it just can't access the PAR. I managed to get the 1.37 NT drivers for the PAR from DPS' ftp site, and while their player works ok, the razor player does not. I keep getting the following error: PARDRR.DLL Par time out waiting for Rx empty. If you could help out with this I'd sure appreciate it. Also can you tell me if sound sync will work under NT with speed razor. I've got a TB Monterey, and since TB hasn't developed NT drivers yet I'm having a heck of a time with it all. If Speed razor will work with the Par and support syncd sound I'll be much more apt to get it right away. Please, please, please tell me all will be ok. I hate to dump NT but I really need Razor and the PAR to work again. Thanks much Eron. DM

Dave, just read your note to Eron. I think for the next few months I'm going to keep WFWG and NT together. It took forever to get the memory set up for the Monterey, the network TCP/IP stack, maximum conventional mem, and so forth. I'm going to let the dust settle around NT a little and let the new drivers happen. I got the brochure on Thursday about the new Razor. I don't need it until MAX is available. Or until I get a multi-proccessor motherboard. For that I'm gonna wait at least for Pentium 133s if not 150s or 180s. What do you think? Bye…

I haven't gotten any info on the new speed razor. I was just figuring that since In:Sync has obviously gotten the PAR to work under NT they may be able to get it to work with plain old Razor Pro also. Seems logical to me. <g> Maybe Eron will be able to shed some light on this. DPS' sure isn't. Thanks Mark. BTW, I'm going to install the new shell for NT today. Just for kicks. I guess if it crashes a lot etc. it's really easy to uninstall so I figured I'd give it a go. DM
