While the TRS 100 was one of the things I fantasized about as a kid, memorizing the Radio Shack catalog, I’m not that excited about this kickstarter project. It is cute and all... but actually getting the adapters to make use of the built-in panel mount jacks is a bit harder. I can’t quite imagine how you would go about making a pro audio level interface for the thing as an example.
Now YOU get it. These are all universal D-MOUNT type connectors. You can get a $2 Keystone to fit on any of them. It is the opposite of what you infer. We built this to make Neutrik/Midi/RCA/1/4" super easy to jack in. THAT is the point, not this Cyberdeck stuff the market seems to be labelling us as.
I get the D-Mount panel, and the project is similar to something I did years ago with a Pelican box. The question I have is how does the magic work between that jack and a raspberry pi (or NUC). That piece is where the value is, at least for me, but getting a high-end DAC or whatever else to work properly just seems like an exercise in frustration.
Linux drivers are so fun to figure out...no? ðY£ðY£ðY£
Seriously though as people upload their rigs/configs/drivers we will share to our regiatry and it should get easy eventually.

Then you get into the whole linux driver issue...
