mach II GT control center showing wrong cpu speed

As the subject says my control center buggerers up after a certain speed and at 4.7ghz is showing 215mhz, anyone know how to fix this?
 
Believe it is a bug with the software that it doesn't read over a certain speed (4.5GHz iirc) so that would explain the 215MHz your getting as its got to 4.5 and then reset
 
Both my gt's get to 4.3ghz and then start recounting,so 4311mhz shows up as 11mhz.Does anyone know if ECT will be doing new software and firmwares for the mach units because i think that is the only way to fix this.

ECT is aware of this and the software will be re-written to cope.

Whilest they're rewriting can they make an xp64 driver and a control center which can handle 2 mach 2s. Please :).
 
I think I may have been misleading. To run 2 Mach 2s It's not just the control center that needs modifying. The whole windrv6 (or whatever the driver is called) crashes and windows BSoDs. I'd appreciate anybody developing a multimach version (whether legally or not). Shh. :)

EDIT: Nobody would know - you could just tell chip-con or nventiv or ecs that you worked for one of the other companies who had rights to it.
 
MACH control center GNU?!?

Thats not really the point

The reason it BSOD's is beacuse its talking to the HAL for something it really doesnt need to. The very point that it talks to HAL to get some rpms and temps in my mind seems to sujest that it was not researched very well.

Although im a flip coder

there would not be that much benefit for me (or you) doing it tout seul. Although i could get something out the door quickety quick for an individual, odds are it would crash on x amount of other set ups.

If they made the software gnu we could make a proper project out of it, and organise its development properly.

The software itself is very simple. It took me around 4 hours to get full functionality @ the command line in linux.
 
Software Development Thread?

I've now emailed ECT (in the hope that they own the rights to the drivers and software) to ask their permission to modify the drivers and control center. With luck, we'll get the go-ahead and we can have a software development thread. Now that I'm a mod (:D) I could make it a sticky in the Mach II section. We could have people working on drivers for different operating systems and people working on a driver and a control center for 2 prommies.

Good idea?
 
There's only one thing I would like to see implemented into the exsting control center, and that's the temperature probes being calibrated to read the correct temperatures (Bowman has already done it, so I can't see why ECT can't)
 
Well I asked them if we could develop the software ourselves; this was the response so far:

Dear Richard Fenn

I'll have to discuss this with our president but he's out travling at the

moment and wont be back before end of next week, but one thing that have to

be possible if we allowe you to make changes in the software/drivers is that

it have to be possible for other users to download it form you or from our

website.

I'll get back to you a.s.a.p.

Best Regards

Verner Ebbesen

Dept. Manager

Seems reasonable enough.
 
No problem, I'm probably the one who wants this the most. I'm after a driver and control center that can support 2 prommies as well as an xp64 driver.
