Re: RIP 003 + Mbox 2 Family
This was expected for a loooooong time.
With all ASIO interfaces now enabled who even want an 004?

Re: RIP 003 + Mbox 2 Family
Discontinuing sales and discontinuing support are two different matters. I wonder how far into the update/upgrade cycle they'll continue to support these interfaces. Are we going to get a 9.1 out of them or be jettisoned at 9.03. I don't really care - 9 did it for me. But maybe going forward, features like track folders and freeze will force me into a new interface. It will be interesting to see if/what they fill the hole between the MBox 3 series and HD Native. It's a pretty rough playing field out there. On Board effects are pretty hot these days.

Re: RIP 003 + Mbox 2 Family
It won't surprise me if they instead release a thunderbolt interface. I don't expect HD to go thunderbolt for another year or two, and avid did help test thunderbolt alot. So probably an omni looking interface introducing a thunderbolt io ports opposed to FireWire. Time will tell.
