My trusty TCE Impact Twin finally died... Since I had pretty solid performance on firewire, I thought I'd try and stick with it if I could. I noticed the Avid MBox 3 Pro is pretty close to the Impact Twin in terms of specs and I/O -- and can be had fairly cheap in the used market.

Anyone using one reliably on Windows 10? (I'm not on Pro Tools if it matters).

Not used the MBox 3, but we've (still) got MBox 1s and MBox 2 and MBox 2 Minis at work; I'd say that Avid's longevity of driver support is a bit crap. Ive got an MBox2 on my desk and while it does still work with my Win10 laptop, there's no official support beyond 8.1, and you're stuffed on a Mac OS released in the last decade, so caveat emptor on that front. There's one single Win10 driver release for the MBox3 and its literally 9 years old today!

Also, Pro version is Firewire, isnt it? Might make things trickier still.
