I get it. You don't believe it. We will all know soon enough. The fact is that all of the following use the current audio driver and those that have MIDI use the current MIDI driver.dewdman42 wrote:I hope you are right that old devices will continue to be supported in 64bit but until I see it, it's not.

Many are in current production. So, if you want to believe that MOTU will write a driver that excepts
some of these while supporting others, go ahead but you are missing something: The hardware is unchanged and that's where USB/TB/partial FW support lies. Catalina has nothing to do with that. If, someday, Apple goes with their proprietary chip as rumored (in an Intel report), then this may change.
I'm expecting my 828mkII and MTP AV USB to work in Catalina after MOTU releases new drivers. There may be growing pains as in the past but I'll deal with that then.
This is an educated guess, of course, but I see no technical reason to believe I'm wrong.
