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.
