I use the HDSP Cardbus/Multiface combination with a ThinkPad A31
with good success. Because the the A31 (base) does not have firewire
(or USB2), I also use a cardbus firewire interface with an external
drive.
The primary maintainers of the HDSP alsa driver are Paul Davis and
Thomas Charbonnel, who are both active in the community, and have
fixed issues with new firmware etc....
Make sure you get Thomas's wonderful tools hdspmixer and hdspconf...
i believe they are included with alsa tools now.
