Scope 4.0 / 4.5 on Windows 7 32 bit: This combination is not specifically supported by S|C and was tested by members running the installer and the Scope application itself in Windows XP Compatibility mode.

Scope 4.0 / 4.5 64 Bit OS Support: Some PCI card users running Scope 4.0 have queried the availability of 64 Bit support.  To date the only upgrade option for these users is to upgrade to Scope 5.0 / 5.1.  There is no knowledge of a separate free driver being provided, and many PlanetZ members encourage Scope 4.0 users to purchase the Scope 5.0 upgrade in view of the overall benefits of the upgrade and value supplied over the life of the PCI cards. 

64 Bit Known Issues: It should also be noted that as of time of writing this article users may experience issues with Scope XTC mode and Rewire under the 64 bit version of Windows. Also at time of writing, Scope 5.1 Full has not been released so support may vary from the above chart.

PCI Card Support:  Sonic Core are not currently manufacturing PCI cards (as the production line is now geared for XITE-1 manufacture).  However, Sonic Core continue to provide support for the PCI cards (including cards purchased from Creamware) as per the above chart.

PCI Card Availability:  Regarding the availability of Scope PCI cards they may be limited to repair spares or supplied on request only from Sonic Core.  However, there are often second hand boards in good condition available in the Purchasing and Trading section of the PlanetZ forum.

- 3DSP PCI Board
This is the Luna Card, yes. Then it was SCOPE /home. We call it SCOPE 3DSP since 2 years. The new revision now has changed ADAT connectors on the expansion plate. The 3DSP card we still offer as a flexible IO card, with all Software options of SCOPE v5.1, so most things can be used or tried out on the 3DSP board.

- Hardware product range
With XITE-1 D we intended to have an up-to-date external SCOPE hardware for a lower price than the big XITE. We discontinue SCOPE 14 DSP, since it would cost nearly the same as the XITE-1 D. We discontinue also the 6DSP (Pulsar) board in sales, but still have them for repair exchanges.

- Do you need the v5.1 if you have the v5.0? 

Yes - IF you want to use SCOPE XITE-1 or PCI on 64bit Windows, since only v5.1 means 64bit driver and software. (BTW: It's free for XITE users.). 
No - IF you intend to stay on 32bit Windows.  The v5.1 has no more features than the v5.0.  (But it has a 32bit setup in addition to the 64bit setup.)

- Payment for Software Updates?  I agree, it is an important and entitled question, if we have to charge for a 64 bit Update or not. All of you and also we as a company decided to meet this challenge "Continue with SCOPE". That is only possible with continuing  developing on it. For us it means we have to charge money  for our work, time and expenses.

- V5.1 only on CD? 110 EURO shipping cost to Australia?  That is funny, really! I'm sorry. Our shop system is mad obviously and has to be modified. We are doing this just at the moment. Please don't pay for any download shipping cost. We will refund this, if you already bought the v5.1 at our web shop.

- New SDK.  I agree, it is very important, yes! And this is to be finished!

- OSX.  It is not possible to finish this soon ("soon" - in its common meaning). But we all agree, surely OSX is more important than ever before, yes! Of course still a goal of our work.

Thank you all for your engagement on this forum thread!  We will change some aspects on the website to clarify things. I will continue reading this discussion... Thanks!
