Hi Mark, the the only thing I can tell you is this: I have a Pismo with both OS 9.2 and OS X an 828 MkI and a VST PCMIA firewire card. OS 9 cannot see the MOTU on the cardbus port, only on the built in firewire ports while OS X accepts it on both, and it works like a charm. My drives and CDRW are recognized everywhere by both OS's. Hope this helps. Simon -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
