<tt>The way to go is through FireWire or dedicated FireWire-like interfaces.
Look at the RME Hammerfall DSP system (8 channels, 96 kHz) that is composed
by a cardbus and a small I/O box (either full analog or full digital). This
is the most compact system I know of. Other similar systems, MOTU for
example, come in rack size units and require AC powering.</tt><br>

Subject: lab equipment questions
Message-Id:
question. I have recently been hired to set up a sound lab to
acquire and play back primate vocalizations. We have an iBook
from Macintosh for processing, but need advice on whether to go
analog to record then convert to digital for analysis or if we should
record digitally forgoing the conversion step. We will also be
getting a PC so use of Raven or Canary isn't critical except that we
prefer to have the one that will allow us to create play-back files.
Could you give a preference and justification for going analog or
digital for recording and would you kindly recommend a particular
device or point me in the general direction.
Many many thanks!
