He may not be running 8.0....

I suspect the fact that Digi is dropping the original MBox at the time they are rewriting all the drivers to work with 64bit is not entirely coincidental....meaning wherever the drivers are headed the MBoxes hardware cant go.

The Win 7 Beta is pre release software and just because its still working now does not mean that it will if still be working if they need to change the drivers.

Digi always been fairly good about making a Wave or ASIO driver available to download for older hardware. But... they haven't had to cope with going from 32 to 64bit. It would be nice if the final Win7 ASIO driver would support the Original MBox but this time around I wouldn't hold my breath.

The other side of the coin is when you look at all the features 8.0 added its not a bad time to hop off. Would you rather they have ended support with 7.4 or 8.0?
