This thread will chronicle the ongoing adventures of A/V equipment that shows up in my mailbox.
Two new firewire devices to poke at with the Linux stick. A CIB PreSonus Firestudio-Mobile and a something from TASCAM.
Adding PipeWire into the mix in 2024 to keep things interesting... also🔥

Ah, yes, the Tascam! Now that's a name from the good ol' days of analog recording. What kind of magic does it conjure up?

Haven't had a chance to plug it in yet. With some luck, we can get it working with Reaper and Ardour as some sort of primitive control surface.

That looks like it has some weight to it.
This showed up in the post. 1997 pro audio with the Event ECHO. Echo was one of the few companies that worked with developers to get their audio interfaces working on Linux.
It has a Motorola 56301 DSP chilling out on the PCB so it might have a few tricks.

That thing is as old as me.... where's my prune juice?
Welp, 1997 tech didn't play nice with the AM4 mobo with PCI holes. Causes a bootloop the second GRUB attempts to go brr.
Popped it into a P4 mobo, it managed to get past the installer, so I think the card is good.

The mailbox adventure continues. This time it's the new and improved Focusrite Solo Gen 4.
Nothing new in the front, but they moved some bits around.
The logo is going through a goth phase.
After a bit of building kernel modules
We have this
Granted, I'm not 100% on what 'this' just yet.
The official bits for the Gen 4 series are baked into Kernel 6.8, so I might give that a build.
There is also a utility to update the firmware. BIG fan of that.
More to come.
