HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by thesoundtek »

I purchased a pair of MOTU 2408 MK1 rack units with the 324 firewire card with the disk. The disk is for windows 95/98 ( stupid me for not asking)and my xp machine refuses to let me load it. I've searched on line for a possible down load but to no avail. If anyone would be willing to loan me the CD or make me a CD of the XP drivers and included software off that disk I would be happy to pay you for your troubles.

Thanks for the tip but the motu website only offers drivers for the 2408 and the 424 firewire card but not the 324 firewire card. So my offer/request still stands.

That makes me wonder of a driver for your OS exists at all. MOTU doesn't hide drivers, AFAIK.

FYI just for accuracy's sake, these are not FireWire cards. Although the connectors are the same and you can use standard FW cables, it is proprietary MOTU Audiowire protocol and only good for connecting to MOTU audio interfaces designed to be connected to those cards.

Not an expert on PCI interfaces, but I know that at least for their external interfaces, it's basically a universal driver for all of the devices. You might try the 424 driver, it may be exactly the same as the 324.
