TASCAM US-1800

TASCAM US-1800

[amand]

Hello!
I've just bought a TASCAM US-1800 soundcard. Unfortunately, there is no 
driver ready for linux. I started to gather some data from the windows 
USB driver in order to add support in linux. I am ready to invest time 
in this driver, but this is my first ever attempt.
Presently, I try to reverse-engineering the data I have collect with 
wireshark.

Somebody has ever worked on a US-1800 driver  for linux ?

Perhaps we can get some stuff from the us122l driver...

By the way, any help will be appreciated !

This is the right approach if you have certainty that the protocol
spoken by the card is in fact unrelated to the USB audio class.

Most probably not.

The best thing would be if you could make that driver also handle your
device, and do some long overdue cleanups along the way.

I think you're on the right track. Reverse-engineering is annoying and
time-consuming though.


Good luck, and please share your findings!
