Well, there is a reason I was using "general purpose operating system" in my proposed definition. But by far most of my instruments predate Linux, particularly as an OS attractive for embedded systems (more due to the development of the average size of memory for embedded systems than any inherent merit of Linux itself I guess). Personally, I'd rather like to be in possession of the blueprints to my 1960 accordion, but I suppose that would be more in the GNU than the Linux spirit. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
