... I'm guessing a Pulsar driver isn't forthcoming from Creamware. Too bad, nice hardware with a fairly well developed platform. Is there anyone with contacts inside Creamware that might be able to put me in touch with the right person to get something like this moving. Their support group went as far as to pretend they've never heard of Linux upon contacting them... but my guess is that not everyone may be singing the same tune.

So based on the feedback from the LAD community I'm guessing a Pulsar driver isn't forthcoming from Creamware. Too bad, nice hardware with a fairly well developed platform. Is there anyone with contacts inside Creamware that might be able to put me in touch with the right person to get something like this moving. Their support group went as far as to pretend they've never heard of Linux upon contacting them... but my guess is that not everyone may be singing the same tune. I'd like to see if A) creamware will release some specs for an ambitious individual such as myself to write a linux/alsa driver or B) creamware will sell their specs for OSS/GPL development (and hopefully there is enough interest out there to promptly donate some paypal funds to afford such a measure :) ) Is this avenue worth pursuing further, or should I look beyond a $1700 PwPulsar and find another DSP/DAW dev platform? Anyone have any leads? I ran into TCelectronics Powercore Firewire which seems decently assembled, but I do not know of any Linux efforts being made on this... obviously it is not supported directly. Of course everyone knows RME Hammerfall, but alas no DSP power :(. Still, I would like to give a little return investment to all those DSP apps the community has already written for Creamware's SCOPE platform... For those familiar with SCOPE, know of any other integrated platforms like this that have a good backing of community support? Can we live without a good DSP & 24x96? Not me. -s
