If you're not bound to the firewire port and you're interested in a painless solution, I can recommend USB 1.1 devices (AFAIK there are no USB 2.0 devices known to work under Linux). There are cards from Tascam which work fine as well as I personally can recommend the Edirol UA-25. Happy X-mas ;-))) . Best regards ce
