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?

Hello everyone,
Here it is: THE FOLLOWUP. First I apologize for the delay in posting the follow-up. I have posted to several forums in my search for aid, that I overlooked this one in posting my progress. OK. I had sent the original 828 to MOTU to be repaired/replaced. There was a flat fee of 49.95 USD for the service. I had maintained contact with MOTU throughout the weeks that followed and consistently rec'd replies indicating that there was a backorder of the 828 and my unit was held up indefinitely. As I said, this went on for weeks. Then one day, the replacement unit showed up on my doorstep (sans AC cord...oh well.) Here is the funny part. The next day I rec'd a notice from MOTU indicating that my unit was STILL a month out due to backorder!! The right hand not knowing what the left is doing? yep. Anyway, I have my MOTU. It works fine.All is well. The total wait was about 6 weeks, but I had an Mbox to bridge the gap. To Keem, thanks for the heads-up on TIGER.
