fair enough, but a surprisingly large number of those boxes are
lying around in institutions and studios (among them, I believe,
Ardour headquarters :) so it's still kind of useful - the ffs are
still more or less state-of-the-art in terms of audio quality, so
it's well worth the extra effort to dig up a firewire card and jump
through a few hoops if the prize is access to those preamps and
converters. Which nicely circles back to my question if there are any settings on
the FF400/800 are settable from within Linux, such as, lets say, +48V
and switchable input jacks etc.
Thanks for all the answers which help to get a good picture of the
current not too bright future vision re pro audio interfaces.

Yes, nice comment
Paul. I feel I have to keep chasing laptops that
have either an express card slot or a firewire connector.
