I am thinking of buying a used 1616m rather than new. I have owned the USB 0202 and 1212M and I seem to remember one must have the original install CD to initiate the install; the online drivers won't work standalone IIIRC.

Can anyone confirm this?

thanks

For my EMU (see sig) I never used the driver supplied from the CD as the newer version is on their site and the installer works fine

Original install CD? I might have one somewhere, but I can't remember ever using it. I own a 0404.

I bought my 1212m used and likewise didn't use the install CD for the drivers--the latest drivers from e-mu's site installed and worked fine. I did install the authoring software from the CD, though, after-the-fact. For that I just used the individual installers in each software folder, otherwise the main installer would have installed the older drivers.

I purchased a used 1616M and it installed fine with the driver pack from the site. I probably tried to install DSP software 1st (in the past) before the driver. Thanks to all who replied.

They removed that restriction some time ago.

Does it have any advantage over the 1212M, only for playback SQ?

No, same ADC and DAC chip IIRC; I just needed the capabilities of the external breakout box as my new board has just (1) PCI slot.
