Re: Fireface 800 don't work after big sur latest update

I had also been unsuccessful up until now to get my Mac Mini (2018) running Big Sur 11.5.1 to recognize my Fireface 800.  But just upgraded to 11.5.2, no other changes, and all works fine now.  I'm using the double Apple dongle (FW800 to FW, FW to Thunderbolt) and everything now seems to be rock solid.  TotalMix FX 1.54 and Fireface Settings 3.39.  No Terminal work arounds.

For some background, I recently upgraded my band setup to the Fireface UFX+, and retired the Fireface 800 to my studio.  It had worked fine on Big Sur on my 16" MBP laptop, but doing the installation with 11.5.1 on the Mac Mini was repeated failure.  I saw the note that others were using workarounds, but even those were apparently not solid with 11.5.1. 
Great Thanks to RME for not abandoning the older platform.  That's how you get a customer for life!
