Hi Arnold,

Your setup looks nice. My Firepod sits in a 4U 10.5 inch (26.7 cm) deep 
FX/Amp rack, making it a somewhat more compact arrangement. But your 
laptop drawer & the extra space for cables at the back seems pretty 
handy (plus, that extra space perhaps allows for a little more heat 
dissipation, too), so, your setup might be a better choice. Thanks for 
the photos & info.

Unfortunately, I'm a little to dumb to get my Firepod working with 
Linux. I can't put the pieces together. Under Fedora Core 5/PlanetCCRMA 
my Firepod's not even detected. The problem may start earlier in the 
chain. I can't even figure out how to tell if my laptop's firewire 
adapter card is being detected by FC5, except that popping it in or out 
does nothing. It works in WinXP, but that's not what I want to do. I'm 
curious, what distro are you running?

I can't even guess what it feels like to have things working correctly. 
Any help would be...well, helpful & much appreciated.
