We have a small budget (I don't know how

knowledge have looked at the linux-sound website and done some
searching and are asking whether they can use one of the following two
devices with Linux:
Tascam DM-300 (FireWire; new model)
Yamaha 01V96
the answer, as far as i know, is either "no", or "yes, but you don't
want to deal with the hassle at this time".
I think paul is talking about the tascam here, the yamaha is (I believe) a
mixing desk, and somewhat platform neutral ;) You can fit ADAT and/or
mLan cards, but a ADAT mixer card + RME soundcard would be my
recommendation.
I use a (non 96) 01v with an RME card, and its a great combo.
if they want to get (lots of) audio in/out of a linux
system, they
should be considering RME hdsp interfaces or M-Audio Delta 1010's.
these are both high quality devices used by professional studios.
some of the hdsp configurations will also need external digital/analog
converters, which is where you can pay whatever you want and get
whatever quality you can afford.
