I use an old M-audio Firewire 410 audio interface. The drivers, which have not been supported since OSX 7, worked fine with Mountain Lion, but will they be okay with Mavericks?
iMac (24-inch Early 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
I have the same interface as you do .. looking thru Apple doc , it seems that CoreAudio and CoreMIdi are unchanged so it looks good but then I found this :
Important: The code signing technique used for kernel extensions changed in OS X v10.8.3. Kernel extensions signed with earlier versions of OS X are treated as unsigned by OS X v10.9.
Kernel extensions signed using the newer signing tools are incompatible with OS X v10.7.5 and earlier. If you are producing a kernel extension that must support versions of the operating system prior to version 10.8, you must install an unsigned copy in
/System/Library/Extensions/Library/Extensions/Library/Extensions/Library/ExtensionsI will do some more research..

Thanks for that.
I've also found a discussion regarding FCP and Mavericks at:

Where a Firewire 410 was involved in the set up, and is now working okay.
As long as Apple will support unsigned Kernel Extensions in /System/Library/Extensions we should be fine.
Hi,
If you've got an SSD, the "M-Audio Firmware Loader" will slow your Mac at the shut down time.
You can find the "M-Audio Firmware Loader" in /System/Library/Extensions and delete him to solve the problem.
