Would be very good successful use to operate the ultra fast track to linux @2x24-96.... Unfortunately I do not have on all the computers a firewire port, for this I tried a usb model soundcard, should I need an adapter firewire? or what if I want to use a laptop that does not have firewire connection, how can I do? ... PCI perhaps? I do not understand how ...
