To achieve the original objective was just too expensive so have settled for 2 channels. The iO2 works fine on Suse 11.3 with jack and Ardour, although it took quite a lot of effort (I estimate about 5 hours messing about) to get it recording and playing back audio. I haven't tested the MIDI yet but the ports are visible and I anticipate no trouble there.
