Hi, just a quick update on the hdsp pcmcia: I went to the shop today: They still had a couple of cards of the old design, manufactured after Nov 2004. The rev number is 0b and they work. There was another card of the new design (also rev 32) which also didn't work. Going up from 0b to 32 within a few months indicates quite some development in the firmware which might be due to some hardware change. On their website RME advertises some security means applied to both pci and multiface to prevent unusability in case of unfinished flash updates. Unfortunately there was no multiface II (which apparently works with the new card) to test the old card with the new multiface. Am 10.

I got the same error with my pci and pcmcia card using the most recent knoppix with kernel version 2.6.11. I downloaded the latest 2.6.13.1 from kernel.org today and it worked right away. On my other working machines are 2.4.26 kernels IIRC. -- Orm
