I did until it died. I haven't bothered replacing it. I need to eventually get a new interface for Linux, running my RME 9632, but my workstation died recently and I am using my MBP as my workstation, with Ardour running with an Apogee interface and loving it.<br>

I think LE supported 18 channels but I can hardly remember. There were<br>
something like 8 analog inputs on the LE hardware, along with one ADAT<br>
and stereo spdif for 18. I wouldn't be surprised if Digi decided to<br>
keep that constant. I've only seen M-Powered operating with a small<br>
M-Audio card, forget which one, but 4 channels or something. M-Powered<br>
was a nice idea for folks who wanted to try Pro Tools but weren't<br>
going to buy a real system.<br>
