The ASUS N7600GS is a great upgrade for gamers with AGP based systems moving to Vista. As a result I found the source selection slightly confusing at first, but once I realised what was going on it worked fine. In practice this means that, despite it being perfectly possible to press in all the source buttons on the Base Station at the same time, the only inputs that can be mixed together are the two line ins: everything else is strictly one at a time. Unfortunately, pressing this button disables all inputs except the instrument input, so you need to remember to press it out again before you can select anything else on the Base Station. Worse still, pressing the instrument button has no effect at all (other than to mute any line inputs that are turned on) until you realise that you also need to press the instrument button on the Pod. The rear-panel connections for both the Base Station and the Pod.Things get more confusing if you try to select the microphone input as well: as soon as the mic button is pressed down the line inputs are muted, even if the buttons are still pushed in. To be honest, I think I would have wanted the cable anyway: those little four-pin sockets are flimsy enough already, even without the extra knockability of a protruding adaptor, and it's convenient to be able to leave a desktop machine plugged into the Base Station while out and about with a laptop and the Pod. Using that instead worked perfectly first time. ![]() I was a little disappointed, after the ease of installation on my desktop machine, but I suspected that the little Firewire adaptor might be the culprit, so I popped out and picked up a four-pin to six-pin Firewire cable. This time nothing happened at all: Windows completely failed to see a new device and the driver installation failed as a result. I repeated the driver installation procedure, and again plugged in the Satellite when prompted, but this time I used the little four-pin to six-pin Firewire adaptor that was also included in the box, as my laptop has only the smaller four-pin connector. My laptop didn't fare quite so well, however. ![]()
