[Elecraft] line IN and OUT on new computer

[Lyle Johnson]

Note that Mackie claims driver support for this product only through Win 
7 (Win 8 is specifically not supported which may imply Win 10 isn't, 
either), and MacOS through 10.10 (Yosemite)  -- later MacOS releases are 
specifically not supported.

Which doesn't mean it won't work, but this is from the Mackie website a 
few minutes ago.

Anyone here tested this interface on these later OSes?  Be good to 
confirm before I click on the order button before the sale ends in a few 
hours...  I already have a good USB sound interface that won't work on 
later-than-XP OSes (not sure about Mac).

73,
