Terratec-Hardware under Linux and Mac OS
(c) 2003 TerraTec Electronic GmbH, M.Dreese Version Beta 1
The following hardware has been successfully tested on non-Microsoft operating systems: Mac OS Linux : : Mac OS X version 10.1 or higher Various distros and Slack Kernel 2.2 or higher
Sound Systems Product name DMX Xfire 1024 SixPack 5.1+ 128i PCI DMX DMX 6fire Mac OS no no no no no Linux Notes yes yes yes yes yes The XFire uses the Crystal Soundfusion CS-4624 chipset. This chip has been completely implemented in the Alsa-project. See DMX Xfire 1024, With the exception that the CS4630 chip is used. The 128iPCI uses the SS Solo 1 chipset. This chip has been completely implemented in the Alsa-project. The Alsa driver has been successfully tested. The 6fire uses the ICE ENVY24, which is supported under Linux by the Alsa-project. The GNU-Application envy24control offers a very good control panel derivative.
Audio Systems Product name EWS88MT Mac OS yes Linux Notes yes The EWS uses the ICE ENVY chipset. The GNU tool envy24control can be used to adjust the levels under Linux. For Mac OS we offer our own Mac driver. Die EWX uses the ICE ENVY chipset. The GNU tool envy24control can be used to adjust the levels under Linux. The Phase26 USB is supported directly via TerraTecs own Mac OS X driver. See 88MT See 88MT http://www.alsa-project.org www.alsaproject.org/alsa/ftp/others/envy24control

Graphic Systems Product name Mystify Mac OS yes Linux Notes yes The Mystify graphic cards use NVIDIA Geforce chipsets, which are, hardware permitting, directly supported by NVIDIA.
Video Systems Product name Cameo 200 DV Cameo 400 DV Cameo 600 DV Cameo Convert Mac OS yes Linux Notes yes yes The Cameo cards implement a standard FireWire400connection, which are typically supported directly by the kernel. The Convert is recognized as a DV-Camcorder and therefore directly supported by a DV-Camcorderready Linux kernal. Software such as MainActor from MainConcept can be used. A complete tutorial is available from our Support department. Under Mac OS X the Convert is also directly recognized and can be used with all standard DVcapable video editing applications (Apple Video, Adobe Premiere). The Cameo Drive uses the Oxford 911 chipset, which has become the standard for IEEE 1394-Mass Storage. It is directly recognized under Mac OS, and when using a FireWire-ready Linux distro need only be mounted like a normal drive. Mac users need to perform a system update before installing the Cameo Drive. http://www.nvidia.com

Receiver Systems / TV Cards Product name TerraTV(Radio)+ , TerraTValue Cinergy Mac OS no yes Linux Notes yes yes The BT8x8 chipset is supported by many applications such as KwinTV under KDE. The SAA-7134 chipset is supported by many applications such as KwinTV under KDE.
Accessories Product name Mystify Razer Boomslang MidiMaster MidiMaster USB ViceVersa PhonoPreamp (Studio) Mac OS yes yes yes yes yes Linux Notes yes yes yes yes yes The Boomslang is recognized as a normal USB mouse under Mac OS and using a USB capable Linux distro also directly recognized. MidiMaster can be used on any platform that supports MIDI. For Mac OS there is a MIDIMaster USB driver available. For Linux there are many USB-MIDI Keyboard implementation options. ViceVersa is soundcard independent and can be used on all soundcards and receiver systems. Phono PreAmp is soundcard independent and can be used on any system that can provide the PreAmp with electricity.
