firewire card?
I have a friend with a PC laptop that wants to get an audio interface. I suggested a MOTU, but his laptop doesn't have firewire. Can someone recommend a card that will provide firewire connections and work well with audio? Alternatively is there a decent usb audio interface? He only needs two good mic inputs and spdif i/o.
Mac OS X version 10.5.8 / DP 7.12 / Dual 1.25 GHz G4 2GB DDR SDRAM / MOTU 2408mk3 / Powerbook G4 / traveler
Any firewire card with a Lucent or TI based chipset should work...

Recently purchased the Ultralite. Had an Adaptec 8300 combo card. It did have a TI chipset. It did not work. No audio and the drivers kept disappearing. Replaced with Belkin, all 400's. So far, so good. Sorry, no model on that. (Brought in a pro engineer to troubleshoot, pulled it out of his bag.) I see Belkin come up alot on this forum. Additionally, I believe others have recommended staying away from combo cards.
