Bellingham, WA - December 20, 2004 - Edirol Corporation today announced Mac OS 9 support for the FA-101, 10x10 FireWire Audio Interface.
This driver set includes ASIO2.0, OMS, & FreeMIDI support on Apple computers
running Mac OS 9. With OS 9 and OS X support, the FA-101 now offers low-latency,
high fidelity, multi-channel audio support to essentially all Mac users.
On Mac OS X, the FA-101 is still the only FireWire Audio interface to use Apple's
Standard FireWire Audio driver offering complete integration into Mac OS X 10.3.4
or later.
Apple has recently further refined this driver with the release of Mac OS X
10.3.7 as seen here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300385.
Edirol's support of Apple's Standard FireWire Audio Driver greatly simplifies
the user experience when it comes to installation. Loading drivers is a thing
of the past with the FA-101 in OS X. The user simply plugs-in and immediately
the device appears offering the best sound quality, performance, and value to
the Mac user
