I guess you tried to contact MOTU ?!?

[P.O.]

MOTU endorses a strict proof of ownership policy before they give you something.
Since I got DP 1.4Y "used" when I bought my used CBX and never proceeded with a transfer of ownership with the previous owner, I was denied assistance...

they should allow their manufactured products to be used effectively otherwise they are contributing to E-Waste unneccessarily..
support the people who have their hands on your products.. people die. property is passed on to next generations.
obviously it was paid for at some point otherwise we wouldnt have it in our hands.. we didnt exactly break into MOTU HQ and rip them off for a 20 year old interface

its really foolish their policy - they need to make the support materials public

[DieHard]

Actually MOTU is probably the best company as far keeping their old "stuff" usable. 

I recently got an 828 MKII (circa 2004) working on El Capitan since they do an amazing job updating drivers/software; that is why other manufacturer's interfaces in the same era go for less that $20 on ebay and MOTU stuff kinda holds some resale value. 

There are dozens of other really expensive interfaces that peak out at Mountain Lion or Lower which really sucks for some

Most companies say "sorry, your excellent, really expensive interface, is not worth our time to re-write some drivers... but we have this new _____, oh yeah, it's thunderbolt, so just replace the entire computer, OS, and DAW software while your at it and you can be current, oh, thanks for the call, did I answer all your questions ? survey to follow "

AUDIO HARDWARE
MOTU have taken a conscious decision to support the higher end of the direct-to-disk/digital audio market, and so Digital
Performer v1.7 does not support the rather limited audio facilities (and nasty connectors!) offered by Apple's Sound Manager
3.0 and upwards, nor does it support the Yamaha CBX hardware that the special version 1.41Y did . Instead, MOTU now
concentrate exclusively on Digidesign hardware, from the simple plug-in cards of Audiomedia II (NuBus) and III (PCI), via what was once Session 8 and is now called Pro Tools Project, through to the fully professional and comprehensibly expandable Pro Tools III systems. Supporting just one manufacturer's equipment pays dividends in consistency and simplicity, and makes setting up much easier for the end user.
The review setup was based upon a low-end Pro Tools system, giving 4-voice polyphony and eight audio inputs/outputs.
(There is more information on Digidesign systems in this month's Apple Notes column; see pages 122/3.)

you are looking for 1.41Y

[P.O.]

I already have DP 1.41Y. lost all my installs, can't do anything with it. I know I could use Logic (and Cubase Audio it seems) but I'm not familiar with either and I have no desire whatsoever to learn yet another DAW.
The impression was given that DP 1.7 would work. I guess I'll just give up on the CBX-D5.

lost installs? did you kryoflux, applesauce or greazeweasle the auth floppy before you installed?

if you got a cbx-d5 for sale in europe, i just missed buying one for 40 eurs. and im pretty upset about it

[P.O.]

"did you kryoflux, applesauce or greazeweasle the auth floppy before you installed?"

WTF are these things???
Did they exist twenty years ago when I did that install?
I doubt...

My CBX could be for sale, but it's in Canada.

No, but you did miss a lot of netiquette lessons, that's fur sure.

..

Put it up somewhere, like Filebin net or similar, I might take a look.

P.S. Have you ever used tools like ResEdit, ResCompare, Resourcerer and MacsBug?

Yes I have used those in the past.

The installer is fine, but the software won't run because the authorization diskette has no more authorizations. to boot (!) it is also corrupt.. I wouldn't be able to post it as I can't even read it!

[ssp3]

I ment DP 1.41Y software, not authorizer. Is it ok? Can you install it? Can you run it up to the point where it asks for authorization?

[IIO]

with macsbug installed, that is.

he is going to show you how to run it without the floppy key.
