audio interfaces

[Seth Schwiet]

I ran a search, couldn't find anything on this.
has anyone used the M-Audio FireWire 410. I want to know if it's any good. I'm hung between this one or the PreSonus FireBox. I'm not so much going to be using it for recording, mostly for output signals from ableton Live. I read reviews for both on harmony central; the M-Audio 410 seemed to have some driver problems, and the FireBox just seemed to have crapped out on everyone. If you have used one of these or if you have any suggestions about a better one, I'd love to hear it. (these are the two that I've come up with because they have 6 and 10 outputs.)
For the majority, I'd be using it with my Powerbook G4.
Thanks

i have the firewire 410 and i dont have any driver issues.....i take that back the only time is if i unplug it, then reboot my pc without plugging it in first.....but thats normal but if your are using in a mobile recording set-up make sure you plug it in before you turn your pc on

How come loads of people buy the MOTU mkII interface, with only 2 XLR imputs :\ Why not the 8pre with 8?
