Thanks for the reply,
As I am only in the posession of a laptop, PCI is not an option.
Are there any PCMCIA otions out there, or should I wait until Firewire/USB 2.0
becomes more available?
I seem to remeber seeing something like a PCMCIA/CF card that might work...but
only for 2 channel...
Thanks again,
Wade

I would recommend against USB audio devices. I'm sure there are plenty of
people who would swear they've had nothing but positive experience with USB
devices, but just the same they are a nightmare. The USB audio specs are
are defined in a manner that create a real mess for people who write the
drivers for them.
From the jack dev list:
"USB spec defines the isochronous data packets for the fixed
time length (1ms). and, obviously, 44100Hz cannot be split by 1ms in
integer."
Also, read this:

I would strongly recommend using a PCI device if at all possible.
