My read has them equal in I/O: 8 analog
with pre's, 2 via SPDIF, and 16
via 2 ADAT optical. Adds up to 26. The M-Audio unit mentioned that only
18 were supported under pro-tools.
The above statement is for Pro Tools M-Powered and may or may not not
Pro Tools LE or Pro Tools. Pro Tools M-Powered is the M-Audio version
of Pro Tools that Digi started providing after then snatched up
M-Audio. M-Powered has a number of limitations, presumably to get you
to upgrade to LE or a full blown system.
As an ex-Pro tools user it seems unlikely that this limitation would
apply to all versions of Pro Tools.
Just my guess. I know nothing.
