I've been salivating about that but the spit has rather dried up in the very very very long wait since they announced it. They initially said that there were going to be mLan cards for their ProMix 01V mixer and that's one reason I got it (it's SUCH a good mixer though, what a bargain!) >I do not know of the availability of these products or pricing.

I have the same trouble with my AudioMedia III card (I can't get it to work on this G4! I can get the test to make it generate sine waves but I can't get it to make sound in SoundManager even though I've installed their control panel -- where does one ask such questions, digidesign.com didn't have it?) That's why I just want a single box solution. And I want to get reasonable timing, not these ridiculous "up-to-30ms" delays that are bandied about. (I mean, 30ms, come on!) So USB is not the answer. >With a one rack space firewire device, I can hot swap between my >mac, pc, and a possible future laptop without it ever leaving my >portable rack kit. Yes! so, come on, Music Industry -- give it to us! MOTU, where are you? >One device for all my computers would be nice, but development is >still in its infancy.
