Ok, I forgot about that possibility. With flexibility I meant that
normal PCs might have a FW port whereas they most likely don't have
Expresscard.
So if you need a power source anyway there's
not much reason to use
FW besides maybe being a little bit more flexible than with
expresscard.
Ever tried to connect several expresscard sounddevices at once?
With firewire it is _really_ easy: just daisy-chain them together.
They are then even able to sample-sync all by the firewire-clock.
(All other technologies have to use external sync!) I would say this
counts as _a lot_ more flexible. And its really not "look out for
ricoh-chipsets" but "look out for
the broken ricoh-chipsets". There are ricohs that work extremely
well. (I know from my own expirience.)
Have fun,
Arnold
The question here is: Which ones are the broken ones and which ones the
good ones?
I wouldn't know where to look for that info, do you?
Thanks,
