See http://www.usb.org/developers/compliance/logo/ for official info. Those are the four logos to look out for, but they can only be used on compliancy tested equiment, which costs some money, abnd this some manufacturers don't use them. Their devices still may work, but at least in the case of the Quattro et al. it gave problems on 2.6. There is another USB logo which is more often and looks a bit like a trident. That one only certifies compliance of cables and connectors and thus basically is useless (of course even the Quattro has connectors that can be connected to USB ports) In the high end deparment, I can recommend the Terratec Phase26 or the Tascam devices and the Edirol things, on the low-end, SOundblasters are fine or the Terratec Aureon USB, which is what I replaced my stupid Quattro with. ciao ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
