I have the Edirol/Roland UA-1000. For me, it works well and, since all the
IO that is on the front is replicated on the back, you can use a snake with
it.

The only drawback I have found is that the sample rate is a knob on the
front and can't be controlled with software. Additionally, changing the
sample rate with the knob requires a reboot of the unit (!?!?)

What about the Roland UA-1000 or the Presonus Firepod?

Have you seen the new Layla G3?

Looks very interesting on paper!

I'm not thrilled with the current trend of replacing two of the rear 1/4"
ins with front mounted xlr pre's. The m-audio firewire interfaces do the
same thing. It doesn't make it impossible to plug a snake into the thing,
just sloppy and weird, especially when patchbays are involved.

Doesn't anybody have other gear that they need to plug in, or are these
things still aimed at people who are starting fresh? All I want from a
1394
audio card are eight ins and outs on 1/4" jacks and the ability to daisy
chain the things. Simple, universal, and unavailable.
