Latest driver for 003 console.

[TONYBOY]

Hi.
I need the latest windows driver for my 003 console, which is 9.0.6. I know where it's meant to be but after trying for days on 2 different pc's and several different browsers, I keep getting the file not found error. I've even asked 3 others to download the file and send it to me. One had exactly the same problem as me and the other two who although seemed to be able to download the file, later found it to be empty when trying to extract it.

This is where 9.0.6 is https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...02-003-Drivers

Hopefully I'm not asking too much but was wondering if some kind soul could direct me to somewhere I could
download 9.0.6 please.

Many thanks in advance if this is possible.

You've got the right place, the links are broken, the files seemingly removed from the Akamai CDN. The whole Akamai thing for Avid has been more problematic than it should be, somebody at Avid needs to fix this. Hopefully an Avid employee or a moderator will see this and can have somebody have a look at it.

You may be able to find other copies of the drivers from third party web sites by Googling around, use at your own risk.

Thanks Darryl. I'm hoping someone will either have a copy of 9.0.6, or know of a third party link. I've tried for days with no success. I read about the 003 still being used all the time, so I'm surprised that those links have been broken for so long.

Try this. Worked for me.

Those are ancient driver versions. The OP was specifically asking for 9.0.6.

My google foo only turns up one scammy looking website (https://www.touslesdrivers.com/index...18&v_langue=en). No I won't be giving you my credit card info as "verification".

Shame 9.0.6.wasn't listed there. At least those links work.

Are those links on that scammy web site supposed to work Darryl? Nothing happens for me.

I sure would not trust/try them, just pointing out that is all I could find.

Well thanks for trying Darryl. Every search I made led back to this forum and those links that don't work. I think my best hope is a member of this forum who uses an 003 and has 9.0.6. I can only hope they see my post.

Why don't you guys contact Avid Support? Even if the hardware is long ago desupported (31-MAR-2016 in this case), they should be able to find the latest drivers...

Technically they have no obligation to fix links from DigiDesign era, but they surely may be more helpful than user forum.

Here is more information regarding end of life dates, in case someone is interested.

Why don't you as a moderator bounce this over to an Avid contact to fix the web links... what other moderators seem to do routinely.
