Haha... I remember trying to convince Peter to go the NAA route some 4 years ago:


But a lot has changed since then. With the Mach II audio PC, I'm not sure an NAA is necessary now. And in any event, without a Linux driver, we can't use our NOS1s with an NAA.

But USB remains to total PITA, and if ethernet is the ultimate solution, we should pursue it. But audio PC -> ethernet -> NOS1 is surely the way to go (as indeed you seem to suggest).

Mani.

Yes, a warm welcome from me too.

So jabbr, you found this a 100 times faster than I imagined, although I was sure that at one day you'd find my post about the interface. Of course it was very coincidental that I could write about it and that in combination with Arvind's question and your NOS1a arriving at the very same day. However :

What I do not want is that you see this (interface) as some sort of obligation. I only said it out of appreciation in combination which your desire to create such a thing and indeed maybe (all of) our wishes to have something different than stupid USB. FYI : I think I have been the very first (and only one for a longer time) who ever back on CA expressed how lousy USB was (for all of the reasons people, now 8 years later start to find out and complain about).
Anyway, I know as a first how "we" can like to do/develop things, but that it is always the lack of time which prevents it.


So ... Of course that was challenging me a little, as I already knew that jabbr had these around, and he already knew how many we have laying around over here. But about the former ... these things can take years, until it is finally done or you give up.
So jabbr, don't feel pressed but when will it be ready ?
Nah, kidding !!

Peter

Something else but not :

We have a brand new NOS1a owner in our midst somewhere (so far he hides) who is going to make us such an interface.

And now I announced this, he may feel compelled to even do it.
haha

Peter

PS:
See Arvind ? that was quite all right.
