<pre wrap="">Hoi Svend-Erik,
I can't help you with the 1394 interface, but there's some other options:

<pre wrap="">Hi
I just bought a pair of two older Roland VSR-880 to record my band
during rehearse, I'm gonna use it with an analog mixer, but I would be
pleased to be able to feed Ardour with some of the recordings too,

I have a VS-890 sitting around in the corner. I loved that device in the
late 90's - its built-in effects are great as well.
While one can access the raw data (either via SCSI or by simply taking
out the HDD) it's a proprietary format. However there's
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.thegoodlibrary.com/VSWaveExport.html">http://www.thegoodlibrary.com/VSWaveExport.html</a> - with some advanced
wine device-config and tricks (see the troubleshooting on the page) it
works on GNU/Linux.
The drawback is: you get the raw data as stored on the device: not the
mix (unless you bounce it).
Another option is to simply use MTC/MMC to sync ardour to the VSR-880.
I've used the optical S/PDIF-out to transfer two tracks at a time. It's
somewhat lame but WTH. In my case I spent much more time recording,
mixing & mastering so the few hours for transferring was negligible.

<b>Hi Robin<br>
Okay in fact I've already ordered two sockets for mounting a Compact
flash card in the machines IDE bays: <br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9304">http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9304</a><br>
<br>
I did that original because one of the harddisc's have periodical
failure,
thick and old oil or something, but it will not operate proper much
longer I
think. And new IDE disk's dosen't seem to float the market.<br>
<br>
Then taking the raw data should be easy through a compact flash card
reader, and I don't mind mixing in Ardour. <br>
<br>
Thanks for that link.</b><br>

<pre wrap="">but
the only way to do it digital is through the R-bus which is a Roland
thing, but i found this device
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.thomann.de/gb/presonus_vfire.htm">http://www.thomann.de/gb/presonus_vfire.htm</a> and wonder if anyone here
succeeded to install the device on Linux ?
Maybe I used the wrong keywords but I can't find anything about it on
Google.

The magic word is "ffado" (Free Firewire Audio Drivers)
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list">http://www.ffado.org/?q=devicesupport/list</a>
In particular <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/108">http://www.ffado.org/?q=node/108</a> says
"V-Fire Support Status: Unknown<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=9">"
http://www.presonus.com/products/Detail.aspx?ProductId=9
"</a>V-Fire also comes with a software control panel enabling the user to
select the sample rate (44.1K, 48K, 88.2K, and 96K), latency, buffer
size and clock source."
Said software is only available for OSX <=10.4 and Windows XP. I don't
know if there's a FFADO equivalent, but neither qemu nor virtualbox
support raw1394.
ciao,
