It is? I am using it with my Thinkpad T420 (which has Firewire at its back, admittedly after I spent about $10 for an assembly having a Firewire connector rather than a phone modem socket) and the 18 channels (16 in and Main Mix) of my Mackie Onyx 1620 mixer. By the way: using an RME Multiface via an Pccard adapter in an Expressbus-to-Pccard adapter is much lower in latency (about 2.5ms I think rather than something akin to 10ms), never mind the adapter stackup. > - RME Madiface with missing Express Card slot on today's laptops. > - Maybee a tunnel through Thunderbold with a Sonnet Echo Express (this > works with Macbooks, but does Linux and Thunderbold?) Thunderbolt to Firewire adapters are still around from Mac times. > Please correct me, if I'm wrong. Probably not all too much.
