Some thoughts of mine, unprioritized and not

Interface to PC - 1394, USB, private Ethernet?
Inputs - 2-xxx

- analog + mic preamp (direct or transformer coupled?)
- spdif - 1-x
- ADAT
- word clock
I have a vague recollection that the ADAT format is encumbered in some
way.
For me this would be most useful as a portable i/o, so I'd want a few
analogue ins and outs. Mic preamps would be good, but not essential.
Personally I would be willing to pay over the odds for something like
this, particularly if it had a bit of spare FPGA space that could have a
DSP unit blown on it, or whatever.
Send/Returns - use normal ins and outs or something
special?
Electrically as simple as possible I'd have thought.
MIDI?
Ideally. Cheap, standard USB MIDI ports are common though, so not
essential IMHO.
