Hi
Just a quick question has anyone had success daisy chaining 2 or 3 Ultralites using this method
Thanks
Ha! I wish there was a quick answer.
You cannot daisy-chain MOTU bus powered interfaces, only with external power on #2 and further. If daisy-chaining MOTU interfaces, they recommend using an external clock if three or more to prevent drift. Otherwise there is more than one way
how is explained in the manual. BTW, some Mac portables supply adequate bus power from only one port—yea, Apple still does this. Setting up more than one in Windows is not easy at all.
MOTU has used the
UltraLite name for 6 different interfaces of three types. This is confusing, of course.
The UltraLite, UltraLite-mk3 and UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid take this driver from Big Sur forward. Since the UltraLite & UltraLite-mk3 are no longer supported, you have to look under UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid to find this driver. If you click on Additional Downloads, you'll find the ones for Catalina and backward.
