Re: [Avid-L2] SAS Link issues to Mojo DX

I'm starting to believe it was the hard crashes that were making the system
go wonky. When you first start Avid and it "Initializes Hardware" the Mojo
DX will make a "click" noise as it conects to the hardware (???). When we'd
have the issue I'd described, that would not happen. When Avid was up we had
nothing. No scopes, monitors or decks. What would seem to work to get it
back was to unplug everything, just unplugging the Mac from the Mojo
wouldn't work, plug it all back in and turn everything on one at a time when
Avid was up. We have had to do this a couple of times but not in 8 months or
so. We have not had computer crashes, that I know of, since then either
though. This place is built above Indian burial grounds so that may have
been what was causing it, or maybe I just unplugged the Mojo from the Mac
enough that all systems would finally work and all other systems involved
are just coincidence.
