Is there any way to use an old MOTU HD192 or 2408 'Audiowire' type
interface with a laptop ? Would presumably need either:

1 - An ExpressCard version of PCI-424
or
2 - Some sort of Firewire-to-Audiowire adaptor (driver ?) if actually
physically compatible.

Grateful any advice, but I do fear the answer is "no". Would have been
nice ....

Unfortunatly as I just discovered... the PCI 2408 cards are actually
Proprietory firewire cards. When you put a TI based card in a PC, both
cards go invisiable....so now I have 2 2408 and 2 other cards on ebay
lol....


Audiowire is NOT firewire. The connectors are the same, but they have little
to do with firewire.

If you put a firewire and an audiowire card in the same thing you have some
issues with the drivers conflicting. Check to see what drivers have been
attached to the devices before doing anything else.
