Hi Brad, I use a 2x2 here. I have a couple of differences from you so I've edited you file below to look like mine. The firmware loader I'm using comes from here: http://usb-midi-fw.sourceforge.net/ It says the 8x8 is supported, but that said, I seem to remember problems reported for the 8x8 version of this device.
