Harry.
Great news! Thought I had read previously they work well but worth double c=

hecking before buying.
Yeah I know about the DJx=2C but as my desktop has been in bits for many mo=

nths and not sure if/when I am likely to put it back together (build a new =

one) I feel it is worth having the recording capabilities on the laptop.
ExpressCard slot on my laptop comes off a Texas Instruments chipset so I be=

lieve it should work very well.
Regards=2C Dale.
(PS on lists like this should I reply below so it's easier to read for peop=

le on Digest versions of the mail=2C rather than above like I have done? Be=

en a while since I used many mail lists but sure I remember something about=

Hi Dale=2C

The Echo cards are in principal very well supported in Linux=2C as Echo act=

ively support development of drivers.They're even nice enough to post sourc=

es to a sample driver on thier site.
I've got an Indigo DJ here (that's 2 stereo outputs=2C one headphones level=

 w vol control=2C the other line). If you don't need inputs perhaps that's =

a good choice? As far as support goes=2C assuming your PCMCIA slot is good=

=2C it works *extremely* well. I'm running 5 ms with it=2C on a moderate la=

ptop and assuming your JACK graph isn't too heavy it won't xrun at all. Ver=

y happy with it.
Slight drawback is that one needs the "echomixer" (part of alsa) to control=

 the volume=2C as it provides 8 virtual outputs. But the echomixer is a goo=

d tool=2C and if you don't need to reconfigure it=2C it keeps its settings =

from last use.=20
I picked mine up 2nd hand for a great price=2C perhaps worth checking out t=

he 2nd hand market?My advice: buy it. They're great :) -Harry 		 	   		  =
