> Gang,

I'm a newbie on this list, and am working on a new project for ProAudio
applications.

Will need to get the A/Ds and D/As out of the computer to get 24bit precision --
too much electromagnetic interference inside the box. USB and IEEE1394 FireWire
are part of the answer. USB in first on the list, then FireWire, then a couple
others. Also need to support sampling rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96 and 192k/sec
for proaudio apps.

Anybody interested in this? I am a newcomer to Linux so have a ways to go before
I can be productive in code creation. But I can help define what this new
application area needs and will build systems to exploit Linux.

Have bought a SAMs book on Linux with RedHat CD. Have it installed and running
but still use this MAC8500 for all my work. Any suggestions on study guides to
learn Linux from zero?

Thanks to all who believe in this mission. Will be glad to get moved over to
Linux for all my small company's needs --

Thanks

Gary
