Hi Derek:
I tested the card with an HP Omnibook 4150. The digital input came
from the SPDIF output from an SBLive in my desktop machine. I used
ecasound for recording, the OS was tuned for low-latency, and the
recordings were flawless. Alas, my laptop died recently and I haven't
been able to test the card further, but I don't hesitate recommending
it. Btw, I did have to get a CF to PCMCIA adapter and an appropriate
connector.
HTH...
Best,
