I haven't been following this thread but I have to say that the MOTU
2408mkII rocks!! I used to have a digi001 but I returned it because of all
the errors I was getting. Got a MOTU instead . It works perfectly with the
Mac.
BW G3 450/448 LAMP 4.6.3 MOTU 2408mkII
circa.55 tracks of 24bit audio 15 plugins. No error messages!!

I don't think the latency is so bad. If you set the buffer to 64 or 128
samples it's very low (1.5-3 ms I think) Plus you can get it even lower if
you don't use logigs software monitoring but MOTU's Cue mix.
