Abstract: There isn't much information available, since they don't even have an ETA yet, but the rumor is that it will be more affordable than other firewire interfaces. Basically, the specs look like a better done M-Audio 410. The determining factor will be the drivers (as usual). Ed: Well, quality seems an issue, too, and I prefer the fidelity of the M-Audio eqipment to Edirol, but read on!

*from the Edirol Info Page*

The FA-101, Edirol's first Firewire audio interface is a smashing 10x10 audio interface, capable of 24-bit/96 kHz at a full 10 channels in & out.
