+1 to Echo's Linux compatibility.  I used the Echo Audiofire12 for a year

in my studio, and it worked wonderfully!  I recently upgraded to an RME

Raydat, and am selling my Audiofire12, if anyone is interested...

Hello,

I'm deciding whether to buy the US-1800. Since I run Linux (Ubuntu) wit=

h jack and ardour (www.=

ardour.org ), I need to know if the device is USB 2.0 audio class compl=

iant or if there are plans for a dedicated driver. Or at least plans to pub=

ned in that direction, I will switch to the Firewire solutions from Focusri=

te, since Focusrite actively supports the linux audio developers! It's =

not that much work to disclose some information. And you'll have some 5=

00+ linux musicians BUYING YOUR PRODUCTS! Afterall, your a hardware vendor,=

 not a software vendor.
