Some people could use laptops for live stage work and in
field recording so in these situations, if one is really
serious about it, then RMEs new HDSP CardBus setup could
be excellent... not cheap though...

And click on Hammerfall DSP. This hardware could seriously
rock and even has MacOS driver support (G4 without OSX) and
I believe Paul Davis will be working on the ALSA based linux
driver.
Reccomended retail price in Australia is (1/2 this for USD)
Multiface with PCMCIA $2695.00
Multiface with PCI $2695.00
PCMCIA Card Only $ 795.00
PCI Card Only $ 795.00
Hail RME for taking linux seriously and I hope Paul gets one
RSN, and I've converted the crappy PDF manual to plain text
if anyone wants it (had to, couldn't read the small font).
