Mind you since it is only for conversion of some tapes to digital probably does not matter if it only works in Windows XP as long as the software does not cost the earth.
Most capture devices come with "light" versions of capture software that is Win compatible so that should be easy with little to no cost on the software side

Thank you for the reply mark. I found it some what difficult to match up anything mentioned for linux either on the net or in the src with what is avaible around the place. As the use is essential one time only and the price of these things these days are low I am not going the worry to much. I've ordered one from a local shop (who in fact used to stock one that did run on linux but is no longer avaible) and I will use it on XP. Lindsay
