I don't have one myself, but I lurk on the PC-DAW mailing list
(http://www.missionrec.com/pcdaw.html) gathering information for when
I break down and buy a post-486 computer.
Many people there use IDE for their audio drives. It means more CPU
involvement, and people do seem to spend a lot of time fiddling with
their IDE drivers, but it can be made to work.

Is there a web page that summarizes the Linux RT situation? I could
put together the information I've seen, but right now somebody else
would have to be the one to keep it up to date.
