Default Can I purchase Mbox hardware only?

So, I upgraded to pt8 with my original mbox but when I did an image search in google under "original mbox", my mbox didn't pop up (it only showed the mbox2).

Now I have the software but it doesn't read the hardware. I'm looking at the hardware exchanges but I don't see on the pdf file where I can exchange one mbox for another mbox.

Do I have to spend $500 to get the mbox again? I have Snow Leopard and an Intel Mac.

Thank you.

If you grabbed a new drive and load Leopard 10.5.5 on it, you can use your PT8 software with the old Mbox. You can ften find used hardware on ebay that may not have any software with it.

I tried getting Leopard 5.5 and couldn't. I really don't want to buy any used hardware so I'm considering just leaving pro tools altogether and going to Logic. I've had so many people tell me they like it better and since I have to buy everything all over again as if I never had pro tools, I might as well just give it a try.

The hardware exchange doesn't have anything for exchanging an Mbox for an Mbox.

So you're saying you updated your software and now your Mbox doesn't work? If that's the case what version did you update to? I think the original 8.0 and maybe 8.0.1 is compatible but I they did cut off support for the original Mbox at some point. So you may have updated too far.

Yes just looked. 8.0.1 was the last version to support the original Mbox. So if you updated past that you need to uninstall and then reinstall either 8.0 or 8.0.1. Hope this helps.

Thank you. I uninstalled 8.0.3 and installed 8.0 but now I get this:

"Fatal Error. An unknown executable could not be loaded. Please contact the software publisher for support using this software."

it won't load.

I have a new IMac Inel with SL 10.6.2 and mbox mini 2. PT 8.0.3 and I also have Logic Ex 9. The Mbox is working fine with PT but not at all well with Logic or Garage Band. I want to be able to use all my programs. Didn't I read somewhere that LE 8 won't work with the original Mbox? I don't even know what that is but I assumed it was a much older piece of hardware/software.
