To be honest with you,

I have not been able to get a firewire hard drive and a firewire audio interface to work concurrently on the adk laptop which is a real disappointment. Supposedly, it can be done, and someone here on list is supposedly using both a firewire audio interface, and a firewire hard drive, together on the ADK, but aren't willing to share the details of their configuration (which I personally find rather bizarre considering the nature of this list).

Do some serious research and get some firm answers from responsible parties on what audio interfaces will work on this laptop with what external drives. Don't assume anything or you might get burned. Personally, if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't buy this laptop, but that's just my opinion.

About to buy the adk laptop, but have a few questions. Those of you who use this with sonar, are you using two hard drives for recording or getting away
with one.  If using two, are you using a firewire drive or what?  I know
Gordon Kent has said many times that he's using one drive and doing fine.
Just wondering about other people on the list. Think I'll stay away from the
delta cards this time! John Fioravanti
