Hi guys, I sent the following mail to TASCAM (to the pre-sales information). Hope to move something in their thinking. Regards, Gerald 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. Regards, Gerald Mwangi
