Hello all, <br> I have recently aquired a laptop which I am currently running ardour on. I have a pressing need to add some hardware, but I wanted to get some advice before I do.<br> <br> The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite M45 and will be needing both an external HD as well as a much better audio interface to record with. I am thinking to use the Cardbus for the audio interface and either USB 2.0 or Firewire for the HD. <br> <br> Any suggestions first as to a PCMCIA audio card that will be well supported by linux? My desktop has a Delta 1010, so I suppose that the ammount of in/out ports is not as important on the laptop, its more for just a mobile editing settup. I would be ok with a simple stereo settup, 4 channels would be better...I just dont want to buy a card that is just ADAT and wont work without external gear. <br> <br> Second, as far as the HD goes, is Firewire or USB 2.0 preferred? I seem to remember hearing that USB is faster now,
but I dont recall for certain. Any advice here?<br> <br> Thanks in advance to all, <br> SMH<br> <p>
