2012-04-13 20:20:03 Hello Gerald Mwangi, Thank you for contacting TASCAM. Our customer support representative, NFaison, has written the following response to your message: Gerald, The US-1800 has dedicated drivers for Windows and Macintosh only. We appreciate the extra information. Thank you for your interest in TASCAM products. Below is a copy of the message that you submitted: Support Reference Code: 9L5UWM3B Support Request Type: Pre-Sales Information Product: US-1800 Your Question: Hello, I'm deciding whether to buy the US-1800. Since I run Linux (Ubuntu) with jack and ardour (www.ardour.org ), I need to know if the device is USB 2.0 audio class compliant or if there are plans for a dedicated driver. Or at least plans to publish sufficient information to the linux audio developers (linuxaudio.org). If nothing is planned in that direction, I will switch to the Firewire solutions from Focusrite, since Focusrite actively supports the linux audio developers! It's not that much work to disclose some information. And you'll have some 500+ linux musicians BUYING YOUR PRODUCTS! Afterall, your a hardware vendor, not a software vendor.
