(Release Date 2/1/2010)

This release updates Io, IoLA, and IoLD software to work with Snow Leopard and the newer version of Final Cut Pro that run on Snow Leopard. This release is also Leopard compatible. Release notes are included with the download.


Io Driver Version 3 for Io/IoLA/IoLD (13MB ZIP archive)

(Release Date 4/4/2006)

This release updates Io software to a "Universal Binary"—Apple's designation for a release that works with either PowerPC platform or the newer Intel platforms. Simply install the release as usual. The software will automatically run at peak performance for your Mac's architecture, whether PowerPC or Intel. This v3.0 Io/IoLA/IoLD Driver Software is Leopard compatible—but not Snow Leopard compatible. When using this software with Leopard, please ensure that you also use the v1.2 Io Control Panel application, since the v1.1 Control Panel was not Leopard compatible.
