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?

QUOTE (gdoubleyou @ May 9 2005, 18:14) Do you have any firewire devices that work? the sytem profiler will tell you if the machine is detecting the 828.  Hey gw, Yeah, the FW on the mac is fine. I plug an external HD and my iPod into it regularly... The MOTU 828 doesn't show in the System Profiler... Lenny |
