I have a Lenovo x61s (s/h £180, best laptop I've ever had) with an RME Hammerfall (v.1 [s/h £150]). It's great - stable, easy to setup, 8IO + the software HDSP_conf/mixer works well (and seems to have done for years). Firewire via pcmcia card: Got to love redundant technologies.Is that a standard firewire card or RME's proprietary "quasi firewire"?
The protocol is from what I know not at all firewire, only the plugs and the cable are.
