I might pick up a used unit locally at a good price, pending condition check, etc.
 
I understood this is a firewire unit and my Intel-MB has got the suitable Texas Instrument chip (currently running a Phonic Firefly 302 without issue).
 
Is there an up to date driver for Windows 10 available ?
 
Any other comment on this unit ?
 
Thanks!

Got the unit and found the driver.

My MOTU 828 mkII is still hanging in there.  The front instrument inputs quit working several years back (apparently a common issue).  And whatever that driver MOTU has for it seems to be ok in Win10.  When things get flakey I can never tell what to blame it on anymore in this constantly updating environment!

That is better latency than my 896mk3 Hybrid.
Sonar reports (44.1 64 samples)
2.7ms input
3.3ms output
6.1ms total round trip
 
I get the same latency on USB 2.0 or Firewire (it won't work reliably on USB 3.0).
