A nice, affordable, reliable, well-supported stereo mini-jack in/out PCMCIA (sorry, CardBus) card. It will almost certainly give you better performance and less hassle than a USB device, but you won't get much hardware flexibility, you'll obviously get minimal i/o capacity, you won't get balanced i/o or even 1/4" jacks, and the SNR ratio might not be quite as good -- though it will still be pretty damn good all things considered. Maybe better for on-the-road recording than an effects box, but worth a look. Chris
