Hi Mike, I've got a Yamaha DSP Factory with Digital I/O ($1295 list), that I'll let go for $300 plus shipping. It's essentially a brand new card... it's on my new dedicated audio computer, so it's only got about 10 hours of time on it! It doesn't sport a MIDI interface so that's why I'd be interested in selling. If you're not familiar with this card... "When installed inside a personal computer, the DS2416 digital mixing card offers the mixing power of the successful Yamaha 02R digital mixer plus 16 tracks of hard disk recording with up to 32-bit resolution. The DSP Factory is perhaps the first comprehensive digital mixing and recording system available, providing full-time 24-channel digital mixing and two of Yamaha's top-quality digital effects processors, without having to rely on the computer's internal processing power. Additionally, the DS2416 card includes an audio-streaming engine which provides 8 tracks of simultaneous recording to, and 16 tracks playback from, the computer's disk drive." The nice thing about this card for you, Mike, is the 8 tracks of simultaneous recording and the fact that the card is DSP-based. The advantage of a DSP-based system is that it offloads processing work from the computer's CPU, which in turn means that the card will run on just about any clunker you care to put it in. Best bet for further info is the Yamaha site, where you'll have to do a search for the DS2416. The brochure and Owner's Manual are worth perusing.
