My bad. The RME stuff other than the Fireface group. are VERY scarce in the US. In fact, I've never seen a Multiface or Digiface DSP or whatever other than in pictures. Worse yet, for example, there are sellers on ebay selling the interface without either the PCI card or the even scarcer Cardbus! I suspect that's because they assume that a box named "Fireface" with a host connector on the back that's identical to a Firewire connector simply plugs straight in. D-oh! Those clever Germans!
I did have a long interchange once with a guy who tried to get one to work on a Macbook without success… Cardbus slot issues.
So, maybe the EU is just a better universe to use one… it's certainly worth a try when you already own one.

* I looked at the RME Old MacOS drivers and there are 2 or 3, more or less… one for the Hammerfall and two for the Hammerfall DSP series, which also may require a firmware update as well.
I don't know where or IF the Multiface falls in that lineup and I DO know that ASIO 2.0 drivers are notorious for NOT working properly with SVP…… another one of the endless little things that normally get taken care of with decimal-point revs…… when the companies are still in business…… without having been bought and sold a half-dozen times…… so that they can't or won't even talk about "legacy" products……

The Echo Gina however… unh-unh

My mistake, the Echo is a Layla (earlier 20 bit version). Maybe there's hope - drivers seem to be available for OS9. I haven't tried the RME ASIO drivers yet with SVP but it worked using Cubase and the MIDI side seems to play nice with OMS. I did also try an Edirol UA-20 USB interface, which works OK with SVP, supporting both OMS and ASIO 1.0. I could do with more I/O though.

Ignorance is bliss, right?
