Hi.

About my test with 256/2 into UBStudio and Firepod... dont work. I
dont know why (I hasn´t time to search the problem). And I have to put
the parameters: 64/3.... with xruns and some little jumps.

Maybe... I dont have firewire port on my laptop and I bought a pcmcia
with two firewire ports, but... the transfer´s velocity of a pcmcia is
higher than the firewire. I dont know.

When I can test more parameters with more time .... I tell you Philip.


Regards
