Does anyone else have the same problems with the FW410/Lacie combination. I have an M-Audio Firewire 410 interface, and have been thinking about getting a LaCie drive, but if the two don't work together I think I'll reconsider. Thanks, Morten

I repaired permissions on my boot disk, reinstalled the drivers for the 410, and created a new AUDIOMIDI setup that has no instruments or connections, just the interface(s). (THIS MAY BE THE CAUSE OF A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROBLEMS, BTW-apparently since logic accomplishes something similar in it's environment, it can get upset when osx tries to tell it how the studio is setup, even if the configs agree. This observation was confirmed by emagic to me)and I at least booted up and recorded 1 (Read em', 1! entire track), but then got some wierd error that I've never seen before, and the 410 disappeared again. Needless to say, I am super displeased with the 410 performance so far. The performance of some combination of logic, OSX, my harware (amt8,fire410, mbox), plugz (DrumkitFromHell Superior, Intakt) is starting to remind me of PC audio hell circa 1997. I thought that things were supposed to get better with time.. I called m-audio and they didn't seem to know much, just told me to send the 410 back for testing. Great. How about I send it back, and they send me a hammerfall? anyways, if anyone has any success with the 410, please post. I had an offline discussion with another helpful user who could only use the 410 if he put it on the FW800 port, and used a 800>400 adapter. I'm glad he has a solution, but that's not an acceptable workaround. best j
