I did until it died. I haven't bothered replacing it. I need to eventually
get a new interface for Linux, running my RME 9632, but my workstation died
recently and I am using my MBP as my workstation, with Ardour running with
an Apogee interface and loving it.
18 channels sounds right, though I never tested it fully to be honest. I
was running a 410 at the time so I never really had much chance to.

I think LE supported 18 channels but I can hardly remember. There were
something like 8 analog inputs on the LE hardware, along with one ADAT
and stereo spdif for 18. I wouldn't be surprised if Digi decided to
keep that constant. I've only seen M-Powered operating with a small
M-Audio card, forget which one, but 4 channels or something. M-Powered
was a nice idea for folks who wanted to try Pro Tools but weren't
going to buy a real system.

hardware,
M-Powered and LE are essentially the same, except
LE can support the DV
toolkit, where M-Powered cannot. Last I checked anyways, I haven't
bothered
to update my Protools in some time, Ardour FTW;)

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.
