Motu 2408 mkII - Problems

[Rfcox2000]

I am having some really frustrating problems with a motu 324 and 2408 mkII I picked up.

Basically the 324 installs fine but when I connect the 2408 it does not get recognized and I am unable to select any thing in the motu control panel.

Has anyone come across this?

Some newer motherboards will not work with the 324 card. It requires 5 volts and the curent spec for pci slots is 3.3 volts.

additionally at least one member here got no love at all from the current PCI-324 driver on the MOTU site, but was fully functional with the legacy driver I found hanging around in my drivers collection...

Do u know if there are issues with the 424? This is a new motherboard. I bought it past week.

I thought if the notch was in the back of the card then the slot is 5v and 3.3v if the notch is towards the front (where the interface is).

You might also want to try some more basic things, like making sure the firewire cable is fully functional. I ran into that as well.

Correct.

there are 3 varieties of 424 card: original 424 (5v), 424x (3.3v), and 424e(pciexpress)

all of the 424 drivers have worked fine for me (older, latest, 32bit, 64 bit) but the latest 324 driver is crap, it works for some people as an update install to a working 324 system but just doesn't work as a fresh install...come to think of if the latest 424 drivers are that way too I wouldn't know 'cuz I updated to it from a working 424 install, hrmm....

oh well, regardless I'm happy to email the last generation drivers to anyone who wants to give them a shot...at least they install & work
