Gunter is not the author of the hammerfall driver.

Winfried Rietsch wrote the original "native" driver; I wrote the ALSA
driver (which has more support for the capabilities of the card).

I am not at liberty to forward you the precise information I got from
RME, but suffice it to say that the RME Hammerfall DSP is not yet
shipping, despite appearances to the contrary. I do not yet have h/w
or datasheets from them that would permit me to start working on the
driver. You are encouraged to write to them to ask that this happens
ASAP.

There are none. The VX Rocket is the only PCMCIA device that could be
considered a serious audio interface, and it supports only 2 channels.
