>Hi Thad,
Why yes I do as a matter of fact.
http://www.adkproaudio.com/systems/saved_system.cfm?systemid =112&saved_id=9603
It's got card bas and express card (you can only use one or the other
not both)
The firewire work s fine on most audio devices but I have seen some
issues with the Presonus Firebox with it but the RME. M-Audio and TC
stuff is working fine so far.
Don't know how well its Linux driver support may be though..:)
