I've been looking at specs of the Hammerfall
Light, it seems to feature
more than one ADAT input port, which from the docs looks to be the same

if this will really work; ie if one Hamerfall Light can record two spdif
signals simultaneously.
Phyically the same, but not the same data signal. However one of the
inputs can be configured to accept TOSLINK. There is also a coaxial RCA
style S/PDIF input, and you can get boxes to convert between coaxial and
optical S/PDIF for EUR 30 or so, so it is possible, but not ideal.
nope. the hammerfall is configured to receive S/PDIF from one of 3
possible sources: the coaxial connector, ADAT1 or the internal pins
(for digital cd output). it cannot receive S/PDIF from two sources at
once.
if you want to do this, i think you will need a format converter to
convert s/pdif to adat, and then use any card that handles at least
one adat connector (8 channels).
