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?

There's been a deadbeat serie in the 828 with problems, but MOTU has always repaired/exchange the faulty rack. Now they are certainly not the fastest customer support nor the most communicative but their interfaces are of the best stuff you can buy in the middle to pro range.

OOPS i said something positive about MOTU… blink.gif laugh.gif

Ah, and the Windows drivers usually s…k big time. But we don't care wink.gif

Now, simply, have you trashed the 828 preferences (someone had a strange problem on the French side and it did the trick on a 896)?
