manning -- Bear in mind that the "system" involved in this particular thread and problem (solved) -- is a laptop and not a desktop.

More and more people are turning to laptops for home recording/demo/music work these days and for many it is working quite well.

I've been using laptop plus E-MU 1616M pcmcia sound device, added 8 channels of A-D into the E-MU's ADAT input to yield a rather nice and portable 16-track input recording machine for onlocation work. Laptop plus 1616M w/ADC, one external Firewire hard drive for the Temp storage and the system flat works fine.
