I think the 428 should work but I've never tried one. What do you see in
/var/log/messages when you plug it in?

Sorry... Quoting from the digest.

if I `tail -f /var/log/message` and plug it in, I get:

Aug 18 10:23:49 studio kernel: usb 9-1: new full speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 3
Aug 18 10:23:50 studio /etc/hotplug/usb/tascam_fpga:
calling /usr/bin/usx2yloader for /proc/bus/usb/009/003
Aug 18 10:23:50 studio /etc/hotplug/usb/tascam_fpga:
starting /usr/bin/us428control for /proc/bus/usb/009/003
Aug 18 10:23:50 studio /etc/hotplug/usb/tascam_fpga: leaving

Which looks pretty good.

`ls -l` of /proc/asound shows:

Pretty stumped at the moment due to lack of knowledge of the innards of
the sound system.
