Post by michael77 »

Trying to set up an old iMac ..... pre intel G5...... DP 7 installed..... Mac OS 10.5

I have two old Mbox 2 interfaces ...... an Mbox 2 and an Mbox 2 mini......... have downloaded
every driver labeled Mbox from the Avid site........ the iMac does not see the Mboxes.....

ideas anyone ?

I'm not familiar with the boxes. Are they FireWire and USB? If so, have you tried both interfaces?
