Again in OS X. Don't know about OS 9. The Mic Preamps could better but the sound quality itself is good. Diego

Thanks, Jay >>>>>>>>>> Jay Dunno about the firewire 410 but it siounds like you'll be ok with the 828mkII I wouldn't think the preamps from both interfaces change dramatically, although when using a shure sm58 I usually have to crank it almost all the way up to get strong signal. Of course, we are talking about a preamp of a firewire interface, which you can except as much as a professional preamp. But for me, that's were logic plugins come in and usually do the job just fine. Diego
