Happy to report that my ZED-R16 made it's way back to me in Melbourne after a few weeks in Sydney for repairs and hopefully my 2nd set of woes with the Firewire section of this board are my last....a quick test has revealed that I can get back to work at last!
In other news, I can concur with other users in that the 64bit drivers still need work. I tried the latest ones Mike posted here but Vista 64 bit no likey them. TC's driver developers could take a leaf out of RME's book as I can throw any operating system and change configurations on the fly with my Fireface without it missing a beat. Indeed the ZED software/drivers does feel a bit 1999 to be honest and is the one let down on a fine product.
My ZED R16 runs fine in 32 bit OS's but having to accept the RAM limitations of 32 bit Vista/XP are a bit of a trade-off if you use VSTi's which require significant amounts of RAM. I suspect a lot of ZED users (and potential buyers) would be from the VSTi world where you want a to introduce some analog goodness to your VSTi's but not have to worry about using workarounds if you hit the RAM ceiling because you have to use a a 32 Bit operating system for the unit to work properly.
Now back to setting up a dual boot system.....
