Best driver for 828 MkII?

Post by mandobilly64 »

Hey guys,
Since I'm using an 828 Mk3 now, I sold my son my old 828 MkII and am just wondering what the best driver for him to use is. His operating system is Windows XP, oh and this is a Firewire unit, not USB.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Billy

The newest driver on motu.com is compatible with Windows XP. I would go with that.

Isn't that driver for the Mk3? or is it compatible with the MkII as well.

Peace,
Billy

It's compatible with all MOTU FireWire and USB audio interfaces, even the older ones.

My question is: Why the heck didn't they write that on the DL page for all this time?

Well, there is no other driver installer on that page, and the description doesn't exclude any interface models. So I would be inclined to think that it is compatible with all interface models.
