What a tantalising thread ...

I have an album that was recorded on a pair of VS1680s chained together (it 
seemed like a good idea at the time), which took so long that we never got as 
far as a final mix. I've kind of resigned myself to the idea that I'll never 
do this under Linux. I now have access, potentially, to a VS1880, but I don't 
imagine it is possible to directly read the data via a scsi link or off the 
CDs directly. I know it might be technically possible to stripe 8 tracks at a 
time via a specialised card & some VST plug-in into Logic, but even that 
could turn out to be a complete nightmare.

The chances are we will have to find a way to mix it on a single VS1880, c'est 
la vie. It's great to know that there are others looking at these kind of 
problems, even if there is no magic solution for mine.

Thanks for that tidbit :-)
