Firewire, XP, macbook

Post by anti-banausic » Wed Mar 21, 2007 3:15 am

Anyone using any firewire soundcards under XP on a Macbook?

Specifically the ultralite?

Thanks in advance.

Now that I have the Macbook, I really want to know that answer to this.

About to get everything underway, but was stymied last night due to not having the necessary torx screwdriver for mounting the 160 gig internal drive. Something that Apple completely omits from their on-line manual on how to change a drive.

But in 30 minutes. I will be up and running.

Nobody using firewire soundcards under XP on a Macbook?

Thanks in advance,

XP Home is fine. As far as I know there is barely any difference? (For Bootcamp, it HAS to an SP2 installation disk whatever though).
