Alright Undertone, I think the unit is shot. I forgot to tell you some information that I found out about a few days ago, but didn't understand what it meant. Take a look at these screen prints:

These are the messages I get when I first open Control 3 (The Mbox 2 In and Out are the Unitors In 1 and Out 1, I just renamed it to what I have connected to it):












Now, if I keep pressing the Panic button while it's scanning, it takes longer to get back with an error message, but does eventually come back with this:




And here is another random error I got:








Now, here is the tricky part. This is why I believe the port on the Unitor is shot. If the unit is not being detected on the serial port, how is it that when I go into the Midi Monitor and press keys on my keyboard, Control picks up on the notes that I am playing from my keyboard? Is it reading it through the Mbox, or some how through the serial port?:




Also, when I do a Loop Back test, the unit does not send data back. I got all these same messages before I chopped up the cable, and got them on both computers.
