Mackie Onyx 1640 and Mac problems...

hey everyone, so im brand new to the Mac world, been a PC user for ages, i just got a 24" iMac. I'm trying to install the driver for a Mackie Onyx 1640 Firewire card, and i can't seem to figure it out. initially i tried to do it on windows parallels, which im using for some programs, i couldnt get any luck out of that, so i tried to install on the OSX, but that isn't workin either. anyone know what im doing wrong?

iMac Intel Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi and welcome to Discussions and the wonderful world of Mac,

according to the Mackie website you don't need to install specific Mackie drivers (there even aren't some).
Follow the steps in the manual of the Firewire card, especially the ones for the Audio- and MIDI-Setup and you should be ready.

Parallels is not capable at the moment for the use of FireWire, that's why it didn't work.

If you wnat/have to use Windows programs, you might consider BootCamp.

Have Fun

Stefan
