Potentially good news!
I just ordered Debian 2.2.3 (potato) from one of the cheap CD vendors.
(It would take too long to download the images on my dialup line.) It
comes with a 2.2 kernel. Would it be possible to upgrade to a 2.4
kernel, and would the low-latency upgrades be worthwhile? Are there
clear instructions somewhere on how to do this? (I've been using
UNIX-like systems since the '80s, but still feel like a newbie most of
the time.)

Looking at the page on the Edirol unit at
http://www.audiomidi.com/hardware/roland/ua3/ they certainly seem
pretty much identical. I see an ominous note: "(USB Host
Controller/Chipset: Regarding USB Host Controller from VIA
technology. The UA-3 may not work with computers equipped with the
following chipset: VIA Apollo BX, VIA Apollo MVP3, VIA Apollo MVP4,
VIA Apollo Pro, VIA Apollo Pro Plus, VIA Apollo Pro 133A, VIA Apollo
Pro 133.)" Do we know if this would be a problem with the Latitude?
