Note that there might be exceptions, but: PCMCIA or Cardbus adapters are also unable to provide bus power, notwithstanding the fact that they do have 6-pin adapters. The PCMCIA/cardbus bus doesn't provide the power needed for the FireWire bus, so these adapters can't provide it.
Hrm, this is problematic. I'd just about settled down to the idea of either the Presonus Firepod of the Edirol FA-66, but if there's no way to get them portable power, I guess I'll have to stick with something USB. I had a lot of trouble with a tascam US428 a couple years back, so I'd like to stick with something that doesn't require so much tweaking and a custom module (unless that's changed recently), so I guess it's back to the search. I guess the Edirol UA-25 is still high in the running. spencer _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
