So this was weird. I was starting a session last night and started PT9 before firing up the 002R/Minime/Tango24 (accidentally). In PT6 (the version I had pre-upgrade), when I did this PT would stop mid-startup and say the interface was not turned on. PT9 just sailed through and assumed there was no interface; and defaulted all of my i/o to something generic. I tried quitting PT and restarting with everything on; but it didn't locate the 002R on restart. I went into the hardware menu and there was a weird yellow symbol over the 002R; and I couldn't select it as my interface.
At that point, I bailed and fired up my old PT6 rig so I could get some recording done. I'll head down later and try trashing preferences and whatnot to see if I can get it to come back; but man, what a drag. I'll have to experiment a bit recovering from this situation in case I ever accidentally trigger it again.
PT9 Lost Contact with Digi-002R
My PT9 will load into "Pro Tools Aggregate I/O" (which in my case is the built-in Apple sound) if I don't turn on my sound card first. Fairly easy to switch it back though within the setup menu. Are you on the latest update of PT9 (I believe it's at 9.03), and do you have the latest Firewire and 002 drivers?

Got it sorted--trashing preferences did the trick and allowed me to change the playback engine to the 002R. A bit of oddness with the external clock--it started up with that as it's how I normally have it set up; but had the wrong sample rate (48 kHz vs. 44.1 kHz) and wouldn't let me change it. I checked the MiniMe and it was set to 44.1 so not sure what happened there. When I re-started the sessioin it said the external clock signal was invalid and reverted to internal. I went into the hardware menu and re-selected the external/spdif clock and it popped up at 44.1 so no major issue.
