Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Got the Motu 828mkII in the end on friday but been really busy with 
work all over the weekend so not explored it much.
Had a bit of nightmare with the firewire port on my desktop and 
driver kaos with the laptop.
It only likes my laptops FW port at the moment, i had to hack the 
registry to get it happening after i updated the software.....
Think i need to get another FW card for the desktop..
Sounds good though, got the XL stuffed in it on 6 channels with Vegas.
Not tryed the SPDIF input yet with it though.
Hopefully will be back on the music making soon.
Anyone else here got a 828mkII?
