Hello all,
I wish my first post to the forum wasn't a cry for help, but unfortunately that is the way it seems to be.
I just purchased a used 828(mk1). The unit appears to be in good condition cosmetically, FWIW.
I have since downloaded the latest driver 1.2.5 from MOTU and installed it without incident on my powerbook (running Jaguar)
I have bought a new FW cable as well.
All connections seem to be good.
I just can't seem to get the computer to recognize the MOTU device through the firewire. Someone...please....help...me!

I have also installed the driver on my wife's powerbook (running Panther) with the same result. No MOTU.

MOTU support lines are busy and I haven't been able to get through. Nor have I rec'd a response to my email inquiries.

Anyone? Thoughts please?
