Ever tried to connect several expresscard sounddevices at once?
With firewire it is _really_ easy: just daisy-chain them together. They are
then even able to sample-sync all by the firewire-clock. (All other
technologies have to use external sync!) I would say this counts as _a lot_
more flexible.
And its really not "look out for ricoh-chipsets" but "look out for the broken
ricoh-chipsets". There are ricohs that work extremely well. (I know from my
own expirience.)
Have fun,
Arnold
