I have one of these (in for repair at the moment), and was wondering why

I couldn't get decent jack latencies with the firewire card I have (an

m-audio firewire solo). Is there no way to reconfigure the interrupts in

software?
If not, would it be worth using my usb hard disk as a recording medium?
What cardbus adapter were you using, and how hard was it to make it work

with linux?
