Hi @Lorenzo,

it's very sad but equally true: the X1 MK1 is not compatible with any macOS higher than 10.14 - unless the system has been subsequently being updated from that point on. No chance on newer Macs...

I only see one of these options.

• Downgrade your Mac OS
• Switch to windows
• Buy a used X1 mk2

There once was a blog that showed a very hacky way to run legacy NI hardware that requires a kernel driver on macOS 10.15 and higher. This blog entry does no longer exist, so I cannot even point to that solution. It was not at all supported anyway, and would have been 100% on a user's own risk.

So should you come across such instructions anywhere, please keep that in mind.

Is possibile in anyway to use it with my Mac Ventura?
