Excellent news. We picked up this card for dirt cheap, so I'm glad
there is some hope of using it.

To be clear, we have the Maxi Studio card. I know almost nothing about
it, but I see there is some good reading material for me. The goal is to
get the breakout box 8 channels working for recording. Has anybody had
any success doing this?

I will try out the existing driver this week hopefully. Unfortunately, I
don't have access to the machine often other than through ssh, which makes
devloping difficult. Not to mention I have little expierence doing such
things. But, I do hope to eventually invest some time. Thanks for the reply.
