I bought my Digidesign AudioMedia III card (2-in, 2-out, analog or digital) just a few months before the 001 was announced. Needless to say, it was rather frustrating that there was no upgrade path. My studio partner and I were also unfortunate enough to purchase our MIX plus system just shortly before Pro Tools HD was announced. > Absolutely.

In a pinch, it would also be away of getting files between here and the studio.

I'm confused by what you quoted. XF86Config is my X configuration. .config is my kernel configuration. > OK, I certainly get how this has happened, but I eventually tricked my > Dell P3 500 box that runs GigaStudio into playing nice.

This was the first thing I tried. Same IRQ asignments even after the change. I'd look up the BIOS settings so I could better explain the problem, but my Linux box is building a new kernel right now. > Possibly. Not sure.

It might actually be there. I suppose I'd have to build the controller drivers in order to access the drive at any reasonable speed, however. |) |)enji Benjamin Flaming -------------------- "The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots."
