If you use MOTU, UAD-1 and Powercore, you are asking for troubles (personal experience speaking here). RME and other PCI based cards take up a fraction of the bandwidth of the MOTU card - be forewarned =) -John Lehmkuhl -- John "Skippy" Lehmkuhl sound designer & groov-a-holik http://www.realkuhl.com Get my drum loop libraries: http://www.ilio.com --

I have a MOTU 1224 in my PM G4 500MP and am considering a Powercore card. Do you think that might get me into trouble? Peace! /SpikeY

Or the 2408-mk3? I've heard that the Digi 001 is also a 'pci hog' - any word on that? Anyone have info/news on the 192 cards/interface? How about pci buss load in general - is there any way to monitor that? I'm considdering buying the Motu 192 system when it comes out ( instead of the 001), and am wondering whether i shouldn't get rid of my scsi card and the internal pci to ata/ide card (and move to ext. firewire) to lighten the load on the pci buss. But then, it's hard to tell if the cpu in general is getting bogged down, the pci buss specifically is to 'full' or the actual drives are too slow.. Hope you don't mind my ranting... any tips / thoughts appreciated. Thanks Husky www.eightbitaudio.com G4 933 / 9.2.2 / LAP 5.3

Why adding an UAD-1 and not a second Powercore ? Thanks in advance. Best regards Cyril Blanc France

I had a 001, moved to Motu no more PCI buss too busy errors (2048 mkii + 24i + 1296) Also the Motu sound manager driver is multitask (you can open Itunes and Logic) with 001 driver you get Direct I/O error Best regards Cyril Blanc France

I have a message from tech support at M-Audio that new OSX drivers have been posted.
