    4040* Terratec Producer Phase 88 
    4141* Focusrite Saffire (original/white) 
    42 * Focusrite Saffire PRO10 
    43 * Focusrite Saffire PRO26 
     42* Focusrite Saffire Pro10 
     43* Focusrite Saffire Pro26 
     44* Focusrite Saffire Pro14, Pro24, Pro40 
     45* Focusrite Saffire Pro24DSP (audio streaming only, DSP control not available) 
    4446* ECHO AudioFire2, AudioFire4, AudioFire8, AudioFire12 
    4547* Mackie Onyx Mixer FireWire expansion 
     48* RME Fireface 400, RME Fireface 800 
    4649 
    4750The 'officially supported' label is only given to devices that fullfil the 
     
    5356Through reverse-engineering the following devices will also work: 
    5457* MOTU Traveler 
    55 * MOTU 828mkII, MOTU Ultralite, MOTU 896HD, MOTU 8pre 
    56 Note: the support for these devices is based on a significant reverse 
    57 engineering effort. This means that the developers had no support from the 
    58 device vendor, and this of course limits the extent to which problems can 
    59 be solved. You have been warned. Please do not buy devices for which support 
    60 is based upon reverse engineering, nor from vendors that are Linux-hostile 
    61 (e.g. MOTU). Value the support that some vendors provide and buy their 
    62 stuff. Check ffado.org for details. It can't be said enough: currently it is 
    63 extremely unwise to buy a MOTU device if you intend to use Linux. 
    64  
    65 The driver is written to provide generic support for all devices it might be 
    66 able to handle. This means that most devices based on the BridgeCo BeBoB or 
    67 the ECHO FireWorks platform will work, at least to a certain extent. 
     58* MOTU 828mkII, MOTU Ultralite, MOTU 896HD, MOTU 8pre, MOTU 4pre 
     59* Audio only: MOTU Ultralite mk3, MOTU Traveler mk3, MOTU 896mk3, MOTU 828mk3 
     60* Audio only, firewire interface only: MOTU Ultralite mk3 hybrid 
     61Note: 
     621) The support for these MOTU devices is based on a significant reverse 
     63   engineering effort.  This means that the developers had no support from 
     64   the device vendor, and this of course limits the extent to which problems 
     65   can be solved.  You have been warned.  Please do not buy devices for 
     66   which support is based upon reverse engineering, nor from vendors that 
     67   are Linux-hostile (e.g.  MOTU).  Value the support that some vendors 
     68   provide and buy their stuff.  Check ffado.org for details.  It can't be 
     69   said enough: currently it is extremely unwise to buy a MOTU device if you 
     70   intend to use Linux. 
     712) "Audio only" means that FFADO can be used to stream audio to and from the 
     72   device, control sample rate and clock source.  Control of the mixer 
     73   and DSP functions is not presently supported.  It is planned but no ETA 
     74   is available at this stage. 
     75 
     76The FFADO driver is written to provide generic support for all devices it 
     77might be able to handle.  This means that most devices based on the BridgeCo 
     78BeBoB, the ECHO FireWorks platform or the TC Electronics DICE platform will 
     79work, at least to a certain extent. 
    6880 
    6981Devices for which work is in progress: 
    70 * RME Firewire devices 
     82* RME UFX and UCX firewire devices 
    7183 
    7284Devices that have been reported to (partially) work with the generic support:
