So does it also work at 88.2kHz and higher for you?
Jeremy
though i mainly work at 48 kHz/24 bit, it works fine at 96/24 as well with my Editorl FA-66. however, it appears my controller is not VIA but TI:
04:00.0 PCI bridge: Texas Instruments XIO2000(A)/XIO2200A PCI Express-to-PCI Bridge (rev 03)
05:00.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments XIO2200A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) (rev 01)
while we are on the topic, does anyone know of a non-Apple laptop (current or old) that has a powered Firewire 400 6 conductor port? though the StarTech ExpressCard solution works well and provides 2x 6 conductor ports, the physical ExpressCard connection is sensitive to vibration/movement and is easily dislodged. also, since it does not provide power via the FireWire ports, i need to also carry around the FA-66's power brick.
