When will new AJA drivers be released?

[Nick Griffin]

Let me review the update I performed that started this hassle. I ran a 0.0.1 update — 10.6.7 to 10.6.8. I have to say that since I first started using Macs in 1984 (yes, eighty-four) I’ve had full version upgrades cause issues and dot-version upgrades cause problems, but never had a dot-dot upgrade make such a major, low-level conflict and resulting disruption.

Clearly Apple has a roadmap of how they will progress from one major version to the next and they are A) not sharing it with anyone, and B) not necessarily being accurate in how they numerate updates.

Long story short, in the AJA Forum a couple of people smarter than me gave instructions for re-setting my Octo-Core tower to 64 bit operation, by first un-installing the Kona card, re-setting in Terminal mode (Unix is rather intimidating when you’re messing around with start-up routines and such), re-installing the Kona card, installing the AJA 9.01 beta driver and VIOLA! Up and running.

Fortunately we have a 2nd editing computer so the risk was minimized and work was simply slowed, not stopped. But the lesson learned is to ignore the pop-ups requesting to make an upgrade until more is known about them.

I went through this yesterday. I had to upgrade all my drivers to 64 Bit and setting my Mac Pro to default to 64 Bit boot. I then installed AJA Kona 3 9.0.1 driver, granted this is on a FCP 7 set up but it all works fine. No Kernel Panics.

Nick, I guess you have heard it already, but the new driver is out and it seems to work.

Thanx, Flo. Downloaded it earlier today.
