New subject: [linux-audio-user] Linux Audio on the IBM ThinkPad R50

30 May 2004

Hi Anders,

I've updated the page with some new tests:
http://danharper.org/Linux_on_the_IBM_ThinkPad_R50.html

Jack, Ardour and Jamin work fine.  I haven't fully put the Hammerfall
through any major tests though, but that will come soon.

Details on some other aspects also updated.

Expect some more updates soon.

Regards,
Dan

  Hello Dan.

 I read your note on Linux-Audio, and followed the link to the
 webpage you put up describing your experiences with IMB ThinkPad
 and RME hardware.  Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.

 Im just now setting up a laptop and considering using the RME
 Hammerfall DSP w. Cardbus PCMCIA Interface as you describe below.
 How much further have you come?

 My main concern is setting up a portable computer for
 live-performin use.  So im very interested in the results you're
 getting with various software.

 Have you tested with jack?  Ardour?  What about software like pd?

 Hoping to hear from you.

  Thanks, we'll be eagerly following further
testing and
 benchmarks coming out on the bottom of your page!  Keep
 posting further results.  
  What about other experiences along similar
avenues?  I'm
 just now setting up a laptop for realtime performance use
 here, and would be very interested in reading any recent
 experiences with laptop audio multi-channel-i/o.  
  Any specific laptops to keep clear of?  
  What about interfaces/soundcards?  What
experience are
 there out there using the Cardbus PCMCIA Interface from
 RME on Linux?  Are USB-based systems worth anything?
