Ok Digi, I now need Windows Mbox drivers
 

I have this cute little Mbox sitting here, and can't use it! YET!
Went to Mars tonite and picked it up for $315. I really didn't want to spend the money, but couldn't pass it up(winter is coming, and my festival season ended in October, and doesn't kick back in 'til March!!).
So, When are they going to be released??

I can live with Monday.
If it's Christmas, I think I'll go nuts!!!!

WAIT a second. I thought the MBOX was not even out yet. How did you get a PC MBOX already??

(I don't understand.)

Re: Ok Digi, I now need Windows Mbox drivers
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The Mbox just like almost all current Digi hardware works on both platforms. They just require drivers and different versions of PT to operate.

Ah! Thank you!

What does soon mean for digidesign ????????

Re: Ok Digi, I now need Windows Mbox drivers
 

Soon means we are right there, we are just having a few small installation issues that need resolving. Unfortunately, the nature of these issues is not allowing us to stamp an exact time on the release, but we are doing everything we can. Trust me when I say that you folks will be the first to know!

BTW, David,
do you recommend an external HD for the XP MBox to work efficiently? I am getting a PCMCIA FireWire adapter for my IBM T21 laptop. Does any "cheap" Firewire HD suffice, or the sophisticated GLYPH companion ($700 fpr 120GB versus $150 for ordinary brands) is highly recommended?
Appreciate any advice. What laptop/HD setup did you use to develop and test?
