Q:
Pro Tools 5.0.1 hangs with the tapping hand when trying to configure the Universal Slave Driver connected to the Mac serial port in the Setups > Peripherals dialogue. This can happen when it is trying to look for the port the Universal Slave Driver is connected to is the Mac serial port.
 
A:
Customer reported that the problem turned out to be that he had an OMS studio setup that was configured with a Studio 3 interface on the modem port of his Mac but was no longer connected. He had connected the Universal Slave Driver to the modem port but when he would try to configure Pro Tools for this it would hang the computer.Solution is to create a new OMS studio setup without the midi interface so that the port would be available for the Universal Slave Driver.Also make sure in OMS studio setup > edit > preferences that you disable the serial DMA option.
