Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

However, I'm not sure that what your saying is correct.

Isn't there an ASIO driver for the 002r in which case it will work with
any Windows/Mac software that supports ASIO.

Cheers,

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. No, it is not possible to use the 002 
or 002R which I own (or MBox for that matter) under Linux at this time, 
or possibly ever. Most likely it won't be supported until Digi decides 
to support it themselves.

The 002R does not follow any publicly available standard and in the past

Digi has refused to release any specs on what their hardware does. I've 
used a 1394 bus sniffer to look at a bit of what's going on when PTLE 
brings up the box but beyond that I don't know of anyone else with much 
interest in this.

BTW - The 002 platform is not supported under Windows or on the Mac 
without using Digi's software, so it's not that they don't like Linux. 
Possibly one day they will investigate porting the application, but not 
right now I think.

Oh yeah, what about RTAS? ;-)
