External power... that's the only option for it, actually.  I may have used the wrong term when I said self-powered...  I meant it had its own power supply.  

On another note, Griffin has a product called the USB-Audio Hub, it's basically a USB hub specially designed for audio device needs..  whether it's just $40 overkill or not, we'll see, I might pick one up for the hell of it if I can find it locally (and a regular powered USB hub doesn't do the trick).

yeah but you don't need a hub, you're only connecting one device, correct?

If you're gonna get the Pismo's board replaced, look into getting the G4 500 upgrade for it. Talk about a machine that could do well for another 5 years

I hope my G3 400 doesn't die anytime soon, but when it does, G4 500 upgrade will be my next step.

Yeah, I've heard that G4 upgrade for the Pismo is great...  I might look into that.  Seriously, I love my Pismo...  that thing did so well for me on the road.  I ran it for recording every night plus running room measurement during soundchecks to help EQ the rooms and ring out the monitors...

I think I found the solution...

I tried a new cable, no luck.  Then I remembered that one of the notebooks we have here will still boot into OS 9... booted over, used the ASIO drivers, and, as far as I can tell.. problem solved.

Lesson?  The Edirol drivers for OS X are useless.  I've always liked OS 9 for audio work better, anyway.

Now to find my CD's to install it on my other machines to use...

you shouldn't need aiso for simple 16 bit 2 track.  the sound manager driver and a program like coaster (www.visualclick.de) should do the trick
