Thinking about this further...has anyone been in the CPU possibly? There is a split cable that goes to com 1 and com 2, if those get switched it'll throw this code at you as I recall. At least it's another thing to check.

Just to re-cap, have you ever had the desk working with audio?

If not, I would do as Crash suggested and check all connections inside the CPU to make sure they're correct, if they are, re-seat them when you're in there.

Today I checked com1 and com2, this is correct. I reversed them back and forth. But earlier the error "DSP Control Card ..." appeared only when the clock card is in the sync slot. Today I pulled out the clock card and started Mackie and the DSP error did not disappear. I disconnected the Console Data cable from the computer and launched it. To my surprise, the error "DSP Control Card not Ready" remained. I also noticed that with this error, the CF-display on the console shows completely different errors: System Error 43, DSP Control Card not Ready or just d8b continues to load. By the way, I forgot to mention that when I bought a console in a computer there was a hard drive that broke after 2 months, but I managed to took an image from it in Acronis True Image with Mackie OS 5.1, I bought another disk and installed this image. Today I decided to do it again, but it did not help. I want to note that the error "DSP Control Card ..." does not allow me to miss it, I can not even click to continue. I don't know what it is. Please help.

From my experience, the "DSP Control Card not Ready" have either been a matter of the cpu-unit not being able to communicate with the desk, or because the DSP card was fried (I hooked up a +/-16V powersupply wrong.).

Also the "Error 43" means that the desk isn't getting the firmware uploaded by the cpu-unit. If you disconnected the serial cable between the desk and the cpu unit, these two errors are to be expected.

I think that desk just haven't comms with computer too. I will buy new DB25 cable and check all comms in the cpu-unit again.
