I use this with my laptop: http://www.digigram.com/products/getinfo.htm?prod_key=11500
It's awesome. Not as good as the DAL Card Deluxe, but good enough that the laptop is the backup
recorder and is a second transfer chain for greater efficiency. Right now, there are cassettes
feeding into it as I write this.
The Digigram is a very flexible card and the drivers work great with SoundForge and WinXP Home on
that laptop. It's an older PIII Toshiba model. I record to an external firewire drive. The Digigram
has enough gain to be used with dynamic mics for things like interviews, so it can be super-handy.
The dongle and heavy connector cord are much less fragile than I worried. It handles balanced or
unblanced sources equally well. I was able also to record several quad reels into CoolEdit 2000
without problems despite the older/slower computer.
So, based on the excellent PCMCIA card, I would recommend looking at their other devices.
