[linux-audio-user] Re: Firewire, what's the story?

Hi, I recently read about the new MotU 828mkII (Firewire 8in/8out interface). This sparked a enewed interest in Firewire and I looked around for other interfaces. I found the Presonus Firestation (among others), it that seemed to be very good value for money. (the MotU ain't bad either, but a bit on the expensive side.) A laptop + such an interface would in may opinion make a great pair! So, does anyone have a clue if any of these are likely to work under linux anytime soon? The Firestation seems to use mLAN, I know I've seen talk about it here before. I have no idea whether mLAN would make the chances better or worse ;). /Robert
