SnowLeopard is Intel-only, while the A26/A62m/EMI drivers - if I remember correctly - was PowerPC only (because they were no longer shipping for at least a year or two, before the Intel Macs shipped).
Maybe Leopard could still load PowerPC code as Startup Items, while SnowLeopard can no longer do that (which would make sense, especially considering that StartupItems are also deprecated for several years).
If that is the case, this might be the end of the road for the device.
it is working right now..... listening to podcasts
i just have to launch every time the computer starts (pain)
Has anybody sent this as issue to Apple? Maybe they can fix it or offer a refined driver? I hope so! This is a KO-argument against SL.

Apple never actually shipped that device and the former hardware development team of Emagic - who did the drivers - also no longer exists for around 5 years now. I really wouldn't expect any new drivers.
It is too old 2003?! I'm lucky I can launch it manually....But how can it happen that an OS throws out such a device?! Isn't it a must, that something should be fixed? Or doesn't anybody use this (once not cheap!) thing? BTW, the EMI was renamed to A; why?
Or is somebody capable of programming such a thing?

If you still have one of the old Emagic USB interfaces, the emi 2|6 & 6|2m or the briefly rebranded A26 & A62m, you may have been annoyed that they no longer appear to function in OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard. However, the fix is relatively simple, you just need to fix the permissions for the firmware loader.
Grab the last installer from the Apple ftp and run it (you will need Rosetta installed for this, 10.6 will offer to d/l and install for you if necessary). Open a Terminal and do the following :-
sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/StartupItems/EmagicA26A62mFirmwareLoader
sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/StartupItems/EmagicA26A62mFirmwareLoader
sudo chmod 644 /Library/StartupItems/EmagicA26A62mFirmwareLoader/StartupParameters.plist
Next, delete the relevant preference pane in /Library/PreferencePanes/ - it's a PPC pane so there's no need to keep it hanging around. Finally reboot & watch it spring to life.
