Hi Jerry-
Sorry about the late reply- I've been out of town for a week. Glad
the search is looking good for you. I wanted to warn you that
recently Opcode was having change-of-ownership problems, so I don't
know how well supported their products are now. Also, digital audio
might use up a lot of USB bandwith. So, even though you could go USB
(get a CardBus upgrade and a USB PC card) the DATPort might not be
worth it.

>Thanks for the tip! Bias has bought Macromedia's "Deck" (virtual digital
>audio tape deck), added some of their own software, and packaged it with
>the VXPocket PCMCIA audio card. Packages are $800-$1000. The VXPocket

>and digital I/O and is available separately at Guitar Center stores for

>(Maybe this starts to explain why OS 9 chews up 40 MB of RAM!)
