The 1010-LT is US $300. It is very similar to the 1010, but with no metal box, just bare cables coming out of the card. I am using it with good results now that I got my IRQ/hard disk/kernel problems sorted out. It has Digital Word Clock, which might be able to sync to something... -l[e^2] ------------------------------ http://www.fallingforward.net/ people experimenting with music, art and technology On Sat, 12 Jul 2003, Joe Hartley wrote: > On Sat, 12 Jul 2003 02:28:30 -0500 (CDT) > Peter Groves <pgroves@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Ideally, I'd like to be able to buy a delta 44 now (for financial > > reasons), and then buy another, or possibly a 66, later on and add it to > > the set up.
