Hi,
Having a ricoh firewire chipset here on a thinkpad t61. Not the best one
afaik.. Should I go for a usb (edirol for example) or firewire interface?

The T61 has cardslots right? Then a good option might be to get a
FireWire pcmcia card or ExpressCard and go for FireWire. And not all
Ricoh chipsets fail to work properly so a FireWire card might just work
with the onboard Ricoh controller.
I read somewhere on the KVR forums "If the FW chipset is Ricoh... the
cardbus controller is also Ricoh.
So... you're not circumventing the problematic chipset by using a
cardbus TI chipset FW controller."
