Thanks! It is a genuine CardBus interface. Fiddly and mechanically
unreliable as it is. :)

True, I just discovered that I am earning money with my BCF2k since 2007
already and it has never ever caused a single problem. And despite its
fader motors being too loud for studio automation mixing I use it for a
lot of live work. I even sent back its successor, the x-touch because
its faders are just as noisy and is merely heavier, bulkier and more
expensive.

Anyone else with experience of the UMC1820 perhaps?

cheers, P
