9600 + Digidesign Chassis, Why is the SBS DD007R Chassis 'not recommended' with a 9600? Options

[Francois Déchery]

I just bought a Digidesign Chassis (7 slot), and i discovered in the 'TDM expansion Guide' that only G3 and G4 are supported, and that the 9600 is not 'recommended'.

BUT
It works great with it :-)
I’ve tested stressing sessions (64 track, with lot of plugs and automation) and it seems fine.

Does anyone know why the 9600 is not supported?
Is there a specific situation that create problems with this chassis, or Digidesign  just didn’t tested it and prefer to claims that it’s 'not recommended'?

Anymore infos would be greatly appreciated:
I don’t want to change from my 9600 which is rock solid, full of serial and PCI slot, to a new G4. And it become quite difficult to find an ‘old’ (recommended) chassis.

I would be happy if someone could confirm that this chassis works FINE with a 9600.
