So does it also work at 88.2kHz and higher for you?

though i mainly work at 48 kHz/24 bit, it works fine at 96/24 as well with my Editorl FA-66. however, it appears my controller is not VIA but TI:<BR>

while we are on the topic, does anyone know of a non-Apple laptop (current or old) that has a <I>powered</I> Firewire 400 6 conductor port? though the StarTech ExpressCard solution works well and provides 2x 6 conductor ports, the physical ExpressCard connection is sensitive to vibration/movement and is easily dislodged. also, since it does not provide power via the FireWire ports, i need to also carry around the FA-66's power brick.<BR>
