i've seen the hammerfall pcmcia in action (on a mac G3 powerbook... but
im not necessarily reccomending a powerbook) which was very
impressive... :-)))

at the moment i'm running a refurb IBM thinkpad 600E which i got through
a dealer pretty cheap... it does very nicely for audio, just powerful
enough but not all that expensive (and probably cheaper in the US than
here in the UK)...

hope that helps,
best wishes
