No change. I think Brian T, Dimitrios and Mic Cross were able to get more
than 1 ADAT module per MEC to work. I never was able to do this. If you need
lightpipe connectivity, be sure to buy a new HD to use with XP so your old
system drive can save you if XP hoses your routing matrix.

Just because it's the way I preferred my physical layout from day one, my ADAT cards have always been in the highest numbered slots. In every MEC, my card sequence, from low to high slot number is:
Lowest = Any/all Analog 8-In cards
Middle = Any/all Analog 8-Out cards
Highest = Any/all ADAT cards
Lowest slots are closest to power supply of the MEC.
Maybe that's it, since none of my MECS has ever deviated from this scheme and I've never had the first problem with ADAT cards under XP. There are other variables, but this one seems a very likely candidate.

As was suggested, ADAT cards under WinXP seem (in my case) to prefer to be
at the end of the MEC - the higher numbered slots.
