also allows you to use the m-powered software on xp/osx+, functions as a breakout box to keep
your midi + audio connections and headphone jack handy and at close reach, features 1/4" input jacks
only drawback is lack of XLR jack compatibility

I would be VERY surprised if anyone could have this interface working under any intel version of osx)

UA-25EX WHICH HAS NO DRIVER POSTED FOR OS9, look for white inside the usb port)
http://www.roland.com/products/en/UA-25/images/image_02_L.jpgedirol/roland interfaces are some of the most supported interfaces around

http://tascam.com/product/us-122/downloads/driver compatibility: winxp 32bit / 64bit, winVista 32bit / 64bit, osx tiger, osx leopard (should be fine to work with 10.3 panther aswell) also says its intel processor compatible, im guessing this may only be for osx leopard intel, snow leopard may work, but they dont confirm this
this unit also provides the ability to mix 2 signals (mic/instr) into 1 signal on each side (L/R) of the 2 inputs
so theoretically u could record two people, both playing guitar + singing, into 2 tracks, 1 per performer, just to illustrate its features.. or u can use this to simple switch between the guitar + the mic while keeping them both connected and doing takes. also allows you to use a hardware compressor or other effects chain one insert per side (L/R)

Each ADAT channel supports 48kHz/24-bit operation, and S/MUX mode is also available to pair ADAT channels in order to provide 12 96kHz/24-bit channels instead. Like its predecessor, the HDSP 9652 also implements what RME refer to as 'ASIO zero CPU load' technology, meaning that you can have 52-channel operation without placing any burden on the host processor.
NUENDO AUDIOLINK 96 (2002)
http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep02/articles/audiolink.aspThe Nuendo Audiolink 96 system is no longer distributed by Steinberg since 2004. We recommend all users to get current drivers, tools and manuals directly from the hardware manufacturer RME-Audio. RME-Audio lists this card under the category "Hammerfall DSP" as "Digiface" and "Multiface".
