I've been using an Edirol UA-5 for 2 channel, 24 bit, 96 KHz live 
location recording, with phantom power, over USB 1.1 for a couple of 
years and it works fine.  I was even using it with an old Thinkpad 600E, 
266 MHz PII.  The UA-5 does need external 9 VDC power.  Some people buy 
way more equipment than they need.  On the software side, I record with 
Jack Timemachine.  Later I EQ and master the recording with Ardour and 
Jamin.  Some people run way more software than they need too.
