Thanks for all the replies.

In the end I sent the box back to the retailer.

They tested the Mbox and got the same error.

It was a relief that it wasnt user error causing the 6009.

The retailer was very helpful. And, by the time I had sent the thing away, I was cool, calm and collected (vented my frustration on the DUC...sorry about that!) and it all went very well.

Sound Devices in Sydney Australia were very helpful. In particular Cameron (who tragically was killed, along with his family in a car crash recently). Traffic..its gotta be fixed somehow. SARS is not even on the radar compared to the deaths caused by crazy traffic!!!!

Anyway...human tragedy aside.

My Mbox is working fine again. And thanks to Sound Devices in Sydney once again for their help.
