Steve, Sorry to be a pest, but does the Hammerfall Lite fall right into the box on Linux? If I'm seeing right there is not the possibility with this card to have playback without a computer since it is nothing but optical ports, with no 1/8" or 1/4" jacks? This Lite card is what I have been leaning towards but want to be really sure about it because I am researching a whole new setup based around a good optical card. Just out of curiosity, what preamps and such do you interface to this card with? Mark Knecht: You said that you didn't use the Lite card much under Linux but that it worked ok, and sorry to be a pest here, but were there deficiencies somewhere with this card that caused you to yank it out? >> I also own a Hammerfall Light. It worked under Linux, but I didn;t use it much. Some time ago I removed it and it's sitting on my desk begging for a machine to go into. That wouldn't be a sales offer, would it? ;>) Many thanks again, gk
