That works perfectly. I want to do the same on my > laptop, only using USB rather than PCI for obvious reasons. (1394 > would be fine too. But I want something cheap.) if it only has analog out, how will the 1394 help? but cuz you say it will, first place I checked: http://microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0246465 2-Port FireWire 1394 CardBus PCMCIA Adapter RoHS $35 I have seen cheaper. i saw one in the bargin bin once for $10. really should have grabbed it. Also, many laptops come with it. not that that makes it cheap, but maybe you could pick up an old one for $100 or less. feel like messing with linux on ppc mac? (no clue if you can find a mac for under 100.)
