AMT8 in Catalina

[Martin Naef]

Hi Peter

It's an ASUS Z97-A with an i7 on it. It has served me well over the past 5 years, with the exception of the USB it seems... One of the few boards at the time that still had a PCIX slot, hence my choice.

Hey Martin,


> I always suspected some incompatibility with the USB implementation on the main board, as I later encountered similar hang-ups when connecting an external SSD drive. A couple months ago I replaced my graphics card with one that had a USB-C port on the back, added a hub and tried the MOTU interfaces again - with success. Encouraged that way, I added another PCIe card with two USB 3.1 ports that I now use to connect to the two MOTU interfaces, which has worked reliably since... So yes, definitely a chipset issue.

Out of curiosity: what mainboard/chipset?

I'm thinking of adding a Thunderbolt 3 card to my (X570) mainboard at some point, but I don't really have any use for it at the moment. Maybe if I purchase an audio interface that supports it, but those tend to be pricey. Plus, I've set myself the condition that I need to sell my 01V first – if anybody actually wants it. The thing is just too damn big.
