Oooh, that's good to know.  A friend of mine built a portable 6-channel
recording device based on the M-Audio Delta 66 and I was very impressed
with it, but thought the external breakout box was a real hassle.

I've always wanted to build my own, and you've gotten me one step closer.

(Although I always thought a USB or Firewire external box would be
sufficient to convert an ordinary laptop into a portable recording sytem.)
