RickD RickD Planeteer Registered: 02/19/07 Posts: 290 Loc: Prague, Czech Republic & Guana...	Hi, i have a VS-2480CD converted to SSD & DVD. I have the ADAT box + V-Fire. Anyone using these successfully with a recent laptop, somehow? I want low latency. Looking to use 8 ins + 8 outs for an effects loop, so i can use the PC plugins as effects on the VS. For example, my recent laptop has USB-C (Thunderbolt 4) but no Firewire 400. Has anyone managed to run a V-Fire on a non-Firewire laptop? Thank you 🙏🏻 Edited by RickD (12/03/23 06:00 PM) _________________________ All the best, RickDangerous - VS-2480CD v2.505 with 2x 'two' cards + 2x 'three' cards + all plug-ins + Meter bridge - Converted to DVD with a UJ-860 + SSD with a Samsung EVO 860 250GB - JBL LSR308 monitors The rest of my gear : http://fr.audiofanzine.com/membres/29885/products/

I have three V-Fire's (daisy chained) hooked up to an older HP Z-Book 17 laptop (WIN10) with a Startech FireWire Express Card inserted into its Express Card slot. You could try to find e.g. a Sonnet Thunderbolt 4 PCIe expansion chassis and a PCIe FireWire card. https://www.sonnettech.com/product/thunderbolt/pcie-card-expansion-systems.html See the following link how to get the V-Fire to work under Windows: https://www.vsplanet.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1453812 Good luck!

Has anyone managed to connect a V-Fire to a laptop via USB / USB C? _________________________ All the best, RickDangerous - VS-2480CD v2.505 with 2x 'two' cards + 2x 'three' cards + all plug-ins + Meter bridge - Converted to DVD with a UJ-860 + SSD with a Samsung EVO 860 250GB - JBL LSR308 monitors The rest of my gear : http://fr.audiofanzine.com/membres/29885/products/
