Unfortunately, this is a hardware incompatibility; as such, it cannot be worked around in software. When using these products, you may experience lockups or your Power Mac may not function reliably. Consequently, Echo Digital Audio will not provide technical support for these drivers.

Esync cables come with Gina24, and can be used to daisy chain several 24-bit Echo cards together. Esync is a
proprietary form of super clock that allows you to sync together multiple 24-bit
Echo products. Simply attach the Esync cable to the two-prong “Esync Out”
connector on the Layla24/Mona/Gina24 PCI card, and attach the other end to
the “Esync In” connector on your Gina24 PCI card.

Hi,
I would like to add the ESI Waveterminal U24. (http://www.esi-audio.com/products/u24/)
Works flawlessly with OS9 (AISO). Low latency.
Kind regards,
Arjen

With a lot of links going dead over time, and drivers being especially hard to track down sometimes, I spent awhile making notes on various audio interfaces. I figured I may as well share with everyone else
Mods - please feel free to let me know if theres a better way to share this
