Ever tried to connect several expresscard sounddevices at once? With firewire it is _really_ easy: just daisy-chain them together. They are then even able to sample-sync all by the firewire-clock. (All other technologies have to use external sync!) I would say this counts as _a lot_ more flexible. And its really not "look out for ricoh-chipsets" but "look out for the broken ricoh-chipsets". There are ricohs that work extremely well. (I know from my own expirience.) Have fun, Arnold
