Does Monkey recognize the X3L with Snow Leopard yet?

I noticed Line 6 finally has release versions for Snow Leopard available.

 

Has whatever was preventing Monkey from detecting the X3 Live with Snow Leopard been fixed? I didn't see anything to that effect in the release notes.

    Re: Does Monkey recognize the X3L with Snow Leopard yet?

    Just so Line6Miller understands why I am asking this, no version of Monkey [including the latest v1.33] has detected my X3 Live since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I assume this is a Monkey problem since the current, and previous versions of Gearbox and the PodFarm plugin do work with my X3L running Snow Leopard.

     

    Hence, I am perplexed, but not surprised, that Line 6 has decided to kill the Snow Leopard beta group in a couple of days. From my perspective, reliable Snow Leopard support is, still, not available for X3L users.

     

    Now, as I understand it, Monkey is the only way, short of shipping your unit back to the factory, to upgrade the X3L's flash. Hence, since I am running old flash on my X3L dating back to when I upgraded to Snow Leopard, it has occurred to me that maybe Monkey would detect my X3L if ithe X3L's flash was upgraded to the latest version 2.00. But, if that is truth, then the flash v2.00 release notes should be rewritten to say that they do not support both the X3L and Snow Leopard unless you, first, obtain access to some non-Snow Leopard computer to upgrade your X3L's flash.

     

    Until this problem is resolved, it is premature to kill the Snow Leopard beta group ... unless what we X3L users have suspected for some time is true, which is that Line 6 made a conscious decision at some point last year to cease providing Snow Leopard support for X3L users.

      Despite the feeling that I am talking to myself, I will pass on the answer I figured out on my own.

       

      No, even though Line6 pefers to consider Snow Leopard support out of Beta, the latest version of Monkey still does not detect the X3L under Snow Leopard.

       

      Furthermore, I eliminated the possibility that this problem might be related to running an older version of X3L flash. I installed Leopard on an external drive, booted up off that, and installed the latest Monkey. I did this so that Monkey could detect my X3L since it does not do so under Snow Leopard. I then used Monkey, with Leopard, to upgrade my X3L flash to the latest v2.00. Unfortunately, when I then rebooted, this time off my internal drive running Snow Leopard, Monkey went back to not being able to detect my X3L even though its flash was now updated to v2.00.
