Emi 6/2m And Cubase Sx On Mac Osx

wut up everybody?
alright..im not sure exactly how to explain this..its a monster...ive sat down numerous times in the last couple weeks with other audio engineering students and teachers...and no on can seem to come up with a solution to my problem, which is:
Im running cubase SX 1.0 on a 1.33GHz powerbook with OSX. As a sound card, i use an external USB emagic 6in/2out audio interface. This sround card works fine in all the other applications im currently running. Sound output in all programs (Reason, Cubase, SparkXL) works just fine, and in Spark i can record audio in through my inputs.
However, Cubase wil only recognize my soundcard as a valid ASIO soundcard for my outputs, but not my inputs. This means I can run cubase but i cannot record any audio into cubase. (As a sidenote, when i select my mac's coreaudio as the cubase ASIO driver, recording works fine). Now as much as i understand, OSX eliminates the need for extra ASIO drivers. My soundcard was automatically configured when i first plugged it in.
Ive gone over this in my head a hundred times, and ive checked my soundcard setting as well. I just dont get this specific ASIO panel that i can configure for my soundcard. All i have is the basic audio midi setup assistant that comes with OSX.
Ive also searched around for a downloadable ASIO driver for the emagic soundcard for OSX, but can only find drivers for OS9. I also read that you cannot use ASIO unless you run your computer in classic mode???
Im sorry people, i know that was a lot, but im struggling like hell..just spent all this money on this equipment and i cant get it to work...
thanks for any help u ppl can give.
