So, this is my first question: Can I get this card to work with ALSA?

Hi all. I was just hoping for some advice... I'm looking to buy a soundcard to replace my dirt cheap CMI8738. I may be able to get hold of an RME Hammerfall Digi9636, revision 1.5. I'm told that it's been pulled from a Powermac G4. It seems that this card has reliable ALSA drivers, but I'm finding it a bit awkward to fully understand all of RME's different cards and revisions. I think that I should be able to plug this card into a standard PCI slot either on my SuperMicro P3 board, or my Asus Nforce2 Athlon board, right? So, this is my first question: Can I get this card to work with ALSA? Also, does anyone have any idea roughly what this card is worth (ideally in pounds sterling)? Also, I may be able to get hold of an Alesis AI3 cheaply. It looks to me that I could use it to to get 8 analogue inputs and 8 analogue outputs into the Digi9636, using the ADAT connections. Does anyone know if this would work? Thanks, Michael Nelson
