You should get one or the other. That's what I thought. Hmmm. I'm not getting anything, just a brief pause while the hourglass icon comes up, then back to normal. >> And I still can't get the PC/Win95 to find my Unitor8. > >Win95? Which version of Logic is it? If it's Version 4, then you are >supposed to have Win98 to run it, maybe that's the problem. No, it's LAWP 3.6 and I've had no trouble with this set up since I got the Unitor last January. It was only after I experienced a Logic crash and the inability to run it afterwards that I had trouble. I uninstalled everything, including clearing out the registry as best I could, and reinstalled everything. Logic and SoundDiver open, but I am unable to get them to recognize any of the drivers -- Unitor8 or internal soundcard. >> P.S.

Well, I have in internal modem, so both my serial ports are free (BTW, when I look at the COM port setting in the Unitor8 configuration, it offers me 4 COM ports). I used to have the Unitor and the Key on the top serial port. Now I have the key on the top port and the Unitor8 on the bottom port (though I just did this tonight and was using them together on the top serial port prior to that). Good Lord, could I have damaged the dongle? But then, Logic wouldn't open at all without a warning, right? -N
