Thanks for that nudge. I'd been trashing prefs and restarting a good deal earlier on but it had been a few powercycles since I'd done it. I did it again, after all the other things I tried, and that finally took!
I still find it strange that in all the documentation (installation guides, ref manuals, etc.) there was no mention of this DigiLink I/O process. It's been awhile since I launched a new platform with new periphs, but everytime I do I remember how confounding and incomplete Avid/Digi makes it.
Again, thanks to all of you who helped!
Now on to more mysteries---and then, eventually, maybe I can make music again.
HAHAHAHA. oh god.
