mbox pro issue

[tkicker4]

I have an Mbox Pro (3rd gen) and a Glyph external hooked up to my Macbook Pro via firewire daisy chain in the following order:

MBox>Glyph>Macbook

I seem to be having some sort of issue when my computer is inactive for a bit. After this period of inactivity, my computer does not recognize my mbox as being connected anymore. So I have to turn everything, computer included, off and start the power up sequence all over (see below):

Turn on MIDI board>
Turn on Mbox>
Turn on Glyph>
Turn on laptop

I notice that the glyph might have its own sort of sleep mode? I wonder if when it goes to sleep it interrupts the mbox connection because it is daisy chained? However, the glyph drive never disappears from my desktop.

Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Thank you!

Actually it sounds like you may not have done a few "tweaks" to your computer. In SYSTEM PREFERENCES to go ENERGY SAVER and adjust the PUT THE COMPUTER TO SLEEP to "NEVER". Also adjust PUT THE DISPLAY TO SLEEP to NEVER or to a high amount. And this is VERY IMPORTANT.....uncheck PUT THE HARD DISKS TO SLEEP. While you're there go back to DESKTOP & SCREEN SAVER, turn OFF the Screen Saver
