Author	Topic:   Firewire Interface
Chris Graham Member	posted 15 August 2001 09:08             Are you working on a firewire or usb interface? I have an iBook I'd like to use with the Capy that has no PC Card slots. IP: Logged

bfelton Member	posted 15 August 2001 17:41             Hi, I would certainly echo the interest in a Firewire interface! Would make my PowerBook G4 much easier to use with the Continuum! And other such items... cheers, Bill IP: Logged
oivindi Member	posted 16 August 2001 04:52             Hmm...I was under the impression that you´d started looking into this months ago, as this is what I was told when I asked for a replacement of some sorts for the slooow PCMCIA solution (playing back disk tracks on a Powerbook w/PCMCIA is not good). Firewire, or a cardbus thingy. I *really* hope a new interface is in development. /Ĝivind/ IP: Logged
garth paine Member	posted 16 August 2001 05:05             I too thought something was already under development. I bought the Capy to use with my G3 powerbook and only learned last week (10 months after purchase) that infact the PCMCIA interface provides only 25% of the PCI interface performance. Infact I have been rather surprised at the low performance for audio playback of disk, and the associated slowing down of the GUI redraw when audio recording is taking place, only in stereo. I can only get stereo using the ASIO driver as well which is not really what I was expecting when I bought the delux powerhouse of reltime synthesis. This is double suprising when various companies are selling 6 channel USB interfaces? Anyway, waiting for more audio I/O power while learning to write algorithms in Kyma, which endlessly amuses me.

sarth Member	posted 30 August 2001 13:57             Yeah, forget the Cardbus interface. Forget USB, it's way too slow. Firewire. Firewire. Firewire. Then I could be using an inexpensive ibook instead of this stupid 3-year old powerbook. IP: Logged
