Hi Derek:

  I tested the card with an HP Omnibook 4150. The digital input came 
from the SPDIF output from an SBLive in my desktop machine. I used 
ecasound for recording, the OS was tuned for low-latency, and the 
recordings were flawless. Alas, my laptop died recently and I haven't 
been able to test the card further, but I don't hesitate recommending 
it. Btw, I did have to get a CF to PCMCIA adapter and an appropriate 
connector.

  HTH...

Best,
