SADIE LRX2 would be just the job.
It sits under your laptop connected via USB2.0, the laptop runs the
SADiE software, but all the audio i/o and DSP runs in the LRX. it
records to any drive connected to the laptop, a nice large firewire or
USB2 drive would do thebusiness
It mirror records, so can record to 2 drives simultaneously.
It records up to 48 tracks or 24 bit audio, or 32 tracks if running at
96Khz sample rate.
It has built in mic pre-amps as an option (16 channels per card, max 3
cards, 48 channels).
You can fit a MADI card to it to connect it to a professional console
for mixing down,
need I go on?
Its the donkeys bits

Hi, I would much appreciate any ideas on a simple and cheap way to
build a Powerbook based mobile recording setup for 24 channels with mic
preamps and can sync to external word clock. (Can't use Firepod as it
won't take external clock) Thanks. DannyD
