Motu 828 on Windows XP64

Post by Mephy »

Hi there,

I've used my Motu 828 for years on Windows XP without a problem, but now I want to switch to Windows XP Pro 64 bit.
Will my good old 828 work in a 64 bit environment?
I noticed there are drivers available on Motu's site called "64-bit Firewire and USB 2 Audio", but I have no idea
whether these are the ones I need for my 828.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay, I'll try to put it differently:

Does the Motu 828 (original) work in a 64 bit environment (XP Pro or Vista)?
Same question for the MIDI Express 128 by the way.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Yes, both are compatible with 64-bit Windows XP and Vista. You just need the latest drivers installed.
The leading cause of wrong answers is asking the wrong questions.

My 828 Mk3 works very well in XP 64 and runs with no problems. Just make sure you remove any old drivers if you have been using another card before you install it.
