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? ;-)
