Avid has no updated drivers for this legacy product 2014, and they will not be releasing updated drivers for Windows 11. Avid refers to this as End of Product Life Cycle. The industry has moved on from old firewire drivers and interfaces. My 003 worked fine on Windows 10, but the faders do not work with Windows 11.

Plus, I am running off a VIA FW port on the motherboard(and older x58 ASUS board). I fully expected it to not work, but it does Since this is a totally spare setup, I'm looking to sell it

Hey.. just happened to see in your note, you are using an MBOX 2 Pro on Windows 11. I do have one Win 10/11 machine with firewire and it would be neat to try and get it running, but again as I mentioned in a separate thread, all the driver links are dead internet-wide. Would you be able to upload your Windows driver to archive dot org site or somewhere else that I could download? I want to get it working with my studio Win XP PC again but wouldn't mind trying it on a later windows version as well. Thank you!
