this was talked about briefly a while ago, but i don't mind repeating. essentially, there's nothing for the laptop. there are pcmcia cards with high quality ins/outs, and midi stuff, but nothing with a "breakout box", which is what you're looking for. all that stuff is reserved for non-laptops. what might work for you is getting a high quality pcmcia soundcard and a mixer. plus most operating systems don't handle multiple inputs ideally anyways. i believe someone was talking about a multi-in pc card thing, but it was either expensive, not very good, or only had like 2 or 3 inputs. they don't really make that stuff with laptops in mind. cheers, /derek ----------- "Extremism is no vice when God's on your side" -Opus the Penguin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
