I could use all the help available. Thank you so much for all your
support and advice. I will seriously consider Linux if we're gonna
develop an OS.

Well, very wise words you say. But, on the other

hardware is worth 3,000 usd. We have a ton of users to think about. We
must provide compatibility with it's native format.
It would be cool to be able to use all the OpenSource arsenal out there.
But first, we need to clone... at least, that's what they have said (the
users)
Sure, cloning must also be part of the deal. I was also thinking of
extending the possibilities of the beast while also supporting the
current formats used. If you have to concentrate your efforts of
negociations with Akai on something, let it be the full specs of their
formats (or maybe it has already been given ?)
The things you might lack if choosing linux are file format support,
and eventually some driver stuff. This is such a small part of an
operating system... compared to all the other stuff you would have to
create if you intend to build one from scratch.
