Hallo, Grammostola Rosea hat gesagt: // Grammostola Rosea wrote: Search here: http://qbik.ch/usb/devices/ Generally almost all USB-1.1 devices work, only some older M-Audio stuff is hairy. Some Tascams required a special driver: snd-usb-usx2y and special firmware, these are a bit trickier to setup, and you need to do it on every machine you want to run it on. It's up to your friend if he's willing to do that. Devices by Edirol and Terratec are some save alternatives without firmware hassles. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht Do You RjDj.me? _ ______footils.org__

I have the US-122. They are pretty cheap on ebay now. The mic preamps are transparent and unusually quiet. As was mentioned, you have to load firmware... it takes an hour of surfing and tinkering to get it to work. This worked with my old Dell, but it broke, and I got a newer IBM thinkpad on ebay. I think it was an 800MHz PentiumII or III. I could never get the US-122 to work with the onboard USB. The sound was very choppy. I tried a PCMCIA USB card, thinking it might be the USB controller, but it wasn't quite able to fully power the unit.
