Don't know what I meant, unless I was being careful about the RME naming. Sometimes people say HDSP, HDSP9652, MultiFace & DigiFace. I'm not commenting on the DigiFace or MultiFace of the HDSP PCI or Cardbus cards. I'm only commenting on the HDSP9652. I also own a Hammerfall Light. It worked under Linux, but I didn;t use it much. Some time ago I removed it and it's sitting on my desk begging for a machine to go into. > > > > Thanks for bearing with me on this, > gk > > > > > >
