Actually, I think the common belief is that if you're mounting something into a PC, it'll be via a PCI card, which has far superior data transfer rates than either FireWire or USB. So, the connections would all be on the back, unless you get a PC that has a front-facing PCI slot (which I have never seen). If you are going to go the PCI route, I use and recommend the M-Audio Audiophile: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Audiophile2496-main.html FireWire and USB devices seem to be geared toward laptop users and/or live performance. -Karlheinz _______________________ http://www.khznoise.com _________________________________________________________________ Shed those extra pounds with MSN and The Biggest Loser! http://biggestloser.msn.com/ -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
