Hi John Don't be completely disheartened yet.. A laptop (with a firewire media drive as essential) is a very tempting option...
I would still wait from people using Linux and USB audio devices before making a final decision. Especially as the linux kernel has an option for enforcing USB bandwidth (this is still listed as experimental though). It is also highly likely that USB 2.0 devices will be out shortly. However, if answers are not forthcoming and you don't have time to wait for development then go for the PC option cheers Allan On Tue, 2003-02-18 at 06:45, John Bleichert wrote: > On 18 Feb 2003, Allan Klinbail wrote: > > Subject: Re: [Alsa-user] M-Audio Quattro/Duo question > > > > Hi John > > > > Last thing before I go to bed ..
