I hate software :-)

I got 4 Gig :-)

doesn't show the audio in there. neither in core audio, which it did.

I'll have a look, but as you say, how do you diagnose that?
It's just daft that, as I now know, having a firewire drive on a different
port means that OSX can't see the audio interface on another.

I like the way it looks, so far what I've done I'm happy with how it
works. I still don't feel the work flow is as intuitive as ProTools, but
it's a hell of a lot better than earlier versions of logic.
