I got bored,
Been listening to alot of Trolley Snatcher’s stuff recently. Really enjoying The Future.

So I made a ringtone out of a loop and optimised it for the iPhone’s audio output.

Right click, Save as, add to iTunes, Throw it at your iPhone.. Done.

I recently had the displeasure of re-installing my OS (10.6).
However I stumbled across a problem when using the latest universal drivers from MOTU’s website which are currently at version 1.5.0 (At the time of writing).

During boot, the machine would kernel panic.
If the 828 was turned off and I booted up, the machine would boot up fine until the 828 was turned on.. then I’d get a kernel panic again.

The important parts of the kernel panic are:

0xffffff805d71bfa0 : 0xffffff80002c4597
Kernel Extensions in backtrace (with dependencies):

So anyway, it transpires that the current 1.5 drivers throw up some sort of dependancy conflict.

The solution? Downgrade to the 1.4.9 drivers which no longer appear to be on MOTU’s website.

For convenience sake, I’ve included the driver in a zip file below.
