We want a portable system and don't want to network to a different computer to achieve this goal. As we are after ultra low latency, we are interested in both PCMCIA and ethernet (gigabit) solutions. Is anyone aware of any such ultra low latency hardware ? Can anyone suggest any other solution for a laptop which is portable and not based on ethernet or PCMCIA ? I think that USB and firewire are good, but want even lower latency to the hardware if possible. thanks -- Matt Flax, BE, BSc, PhD Research Engineer National Acoustic Laboratories A Division of Australian Hearing 126 Greville Street Chatswood NSW 2067 Australia P +61 2 9412 6985 F +61 2 9411 8273 Please consider the environment before printing this email
