> Yes, I see that as one possible avenue. The possible issue with that approach is that the SSD is able to interrupt the OS at a much higher rate than an SSD, which may well increase the throughput of the system as a whole but cause latency issues substantial enough to cause drop outs. If this is a thing, you are already in burn-it-down territory with your hardware. I've been doing audio for a pretty long time, and I struggle to conceive of a system so marginally-fit-for-purpose-but-still-extant where drive interrupts will threaten audio timings.

Indeed, it is pretty dicey the way it is set up. The machine that came with the deck had the software installed, a broken firewire card, no installation media. Getting it to work was incredibly tedious and I don't doubt that it is a very fine line between success and failure but work it does, no registered drop outs across many, many hours of working with all audio channels live. If it wasn't for the firewire requirement this would be a very easy problem to solve. I don't understand why that standard is now so blacklisted that it isn't even supported any more by more modern incarnations of windows.
