What I really need is a simple firewire to ADAT lightpipe converter... or a
laptop PC card with ADAT lightpipe I/O.

I know about the MOTU and RME products, but they have far too many features
(and thus too high of a price). I just need one set of 8 ins and outs via
lightpipe.

I'd like to do some mobile recording, so I need is a way to connect my
digital mixer with lightpipe I/O to my Laptop (Mac G4 1.33 ghz 17") to
record into Cubase SX. I need more than two channels (ideally 8) so USB 1.x
products are out. My laptop doesn't have USB 2, I don't think, so that's
out too.

Anyone know of a product?

The one option I know of is to buy the MLAN card for the Yamaha 01/v mixer,
and though that will work, $500 seems a lot of money for a relatively simple
purpose.

I'm not sure, but doesn't Fostex make one that will do that?

Well, I've been using DAWs since the early 90s... but thanks anyway!

Naw, really, something that is just a glorified format converter shouldn't
be that expensive. Oh well.
