Here's how you solve that one. Update to mac OS 9.2.2. Get yourself Conflict Catcher, and change the load order of the OMS extension . . . moving it all the way to the top of the re-orderable list. I'm guessing OMS does not like to load after the carbonlib extension. Anyway . . . I have not had one single USB failure since doing this little trick, and I am running my MTP/AV through 2 hubs on it's way to the computer. best, Jon --config-- Apple Dual 800 G4, 1.5 gigs ram, Mac OS 9.2.2, RME Hammerfall DSP, MOTU 2408, MOTU MTP AV (USB), OMS 2.3.8, Spirit 328 Digital Mixer/Controller, Apogee Converters (WC Master), ATI Radeon AGP, ATI Rage 128 (second monitor).
