The driver seems to be available http://www.leidinger.net/FreeBSD/dox/dev_sound/html/dc/d5d/hdspe_8c.html The RME card is used for my home studio, I stopped working as a professional audio and video engineer a few years ago, but I want to be able to connect my machine by all kinds of interfaces to professional equipment too. Back to the topic, if there's the need to have a free primary partition to install FreeBSD, I'll try to move data from one primary partition, but IMO this is a showstopper. To be fair, I don't know the reasons for FreeBSD, that a primary partition is needed, perhaps this has an advantage I'm not aware of :). Regards, Ralf
