Hi Paul!

  >The "Logic" looks good, but the limitation of a 6Mhz sample rate is slightly frustrating, 

??? The logic has 24MHz sample rate not 6MHz!!!

>however the Logic 16 which can run faster but with less channels, is very handy (4 channels at 12Mhz and 2 channels at 25Mhz). It also comes with >a superb set of micro hook probes

It is nice to have 16 channels but the frequency limitation here is crazy - these feature set for this price is not OK. Too expensive.
The microhooks can be bought for about 2€ per piece and can be added to the Intronix.

I fully understand what you want to know... I don't have an apple but I now have a windows 7 64 Bit computer at work and run most of my older programs in VMWare machines with windows XP SP3. Most USB gadgets work fine (also scanners that miss win7 64bit drivers) but I found out that Logic wasn't able to run at the full 24MHz but 16MHz was working fine. So maybe the scenario with OSX could be similar.

But logic has no intnal buffer -it transfers the data in realtime over the USB bus.

The Intronic has internal buffers and data compression, so this could help if you can't get the full data rate over USB.
