    hello,
    yes….very cool.
    installation is very straightforward.

    I had the Mackie Onyx/firewire already installed
    on my p.c.
    Installed ASIO4ALL and this program readily recognized
    the Mackie Firewire I/O (I am running at 48kHz sample rate).
    I enabled all of the Mackie I/O channels in ASIO4ALL.

    Installed H8000FW driver and ASIO4ALL recognized all
    firewire I/O. Enabled all of these. I haven't tried anything
    fancy with buffer settings etc. and have just been using what
    default settings ASIO4ALL came up with.

    I have been using Plogue Bidule to 'wire up'
    VST to hardware etc. (This program is very cool…).

    So I have the best of both worlds.  An analog mixer
    (I am also using H8000FW analog and TimeFactor
    in aux send/returns on the Mackie) so I can twist
    and turn dials and move faders. Digital connections
    via Firewire.

    By the way….TimeFactor v2 software is very cool
    with the feedback now >100%.  Very nifty for the
    'flying saucer' sounds (vintage delay).

    I hope this explanation helps.
