Great Linux support. 24/96KHz, 8 balanced analog I/Os, 2 digital (S/PDIF), hardware monitoring. $600US from most dealers - Musician's Friend, American Musical Supply, Sweetwater, etc. I use an ST Audio DSP2000 C-Port which uses the same chipset, has the same I/O capabilities but uses unbalanced lines. It works great (it was also about $150US cheaper). The Hammerfall stuff is probably better but by the time you get all the outboard gear you'll need to record with them you'll probably have spent more than your budget. Jan
