Devices with a DM1000 but no BeBoB firmware
| Device Manufacturer | Device Model | Description | State |
|---|---|---|---|
| M-Audio (http://www.m-audio.com) | FireWire Audiophile (http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FirewireAudiophile-main.html) | FireWire Audio/MIDI Interface | This device should work with freebob if the firmware is downloaded first. Not tested yet |

Other Devices
- Metric Halo devices
- Use a propriatary implementation
- Will be fully supported, as Metric Halo will provide us with all information, source code and devices
- mLAN devices
- Support for NCP08 devices (PreSonus FIRESTATION) is being worked on by Jody McIntyre, who has hardware and most of the required documentation.
- It may be possible to support other devices depending on how close they are to that.
- Documentation is available for Open Generic Transporter, which should allows us to support all future mLAN devices.
- Wavefront DICE-II devices
- Used in Alesis MultiMix 8, 12, and 16 FireWire mixers.
- Jody McIntyre has hardware and documentation.
- Oxford Semiconductor OXFW970 devices
- Nobody has ever approached Oxford to see if they will release documentation.
- Uses IEC 61883-6 for streaming.
- Used in Behringer F-CONTROL AUDIO FCA202.
- Echo AUDIOFIRE 8 and 12
- Echo informs us that their devices are "AV/C compliant", meaning that they would work with a generic OS/X like driver. However we don't have this kind of driver yet.
- The Mackie Onyx 400F and 1200F use the same chipset. (Onyx mixers use BridgeCo chips and are supported.)
- Hercules 16/12 FW (http://europe.hercules.com/showpage.php?p=91&b=1&f=1)
- Nobody has ever approached Hercules about supporting these products.
- "Electronically, the main circuit is an Altera Acex EP1K50 PLD (Programmale Logic Device) - in other words, a proprietary solution..."
- MOTU products
- Traveler, 828mkII, 896HD
- MOTU have been hostile to the idea of Linux driver development for their FireWire products.
- Olaf Christ has been working on a driver (http://www.olafchrist.de/ieee1394/index.php) via protocol analysis.
- FreeBoB 2.0 contains support for the MOTU devices, based upon reverse engineering by Olaf Christ and Jonathan Woithe (who also implemented the code).
- RME FireFace 800
- RME have been hostile to the idea of Linux driver development for their FireWire products. It is unlikely we will ever support these unless they change their minds.

'Unknown' Devices
This section lists devices which could not yet moved into one catogery above
- ESI NeON http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM04/Content/ESI/PR/NeON-AON.html
- The usb part is reported to be supported by alsa.
