Hrm, this is problematic. I'd just about settled down to the idea of
either the Presonus Firepod of the Edirol FA-66, but if there's no way
to get them portable power, I guess I'll have to stick with something
USB. I had a lot of trouble with a tascam US428 a couple years back,
so I'd like to stick with something that doesn't require so much
tweaking and a custom module (unless that's changed recently), so I
guess it's back to the search. I guess the Edirol UA-25 is still high
in the running.
