oh yes I forgot about the presonus firebox, a very good and stable card too. I did have issues with my fp10 because the earlier models had a problem with the chip when it came to using on different firewire chipset ports. But recently I just finished with a client in Quebec, and I even had the chance to test with my laptop and the new fp10 doesn't crackle any more. Definatly go for the firebox, and the quality as the construction is much better then the FA66, or the UA1001, and if you can afford it, the motu 8pre is also a fantastic card too, the only problem with this card is the interface, however I'm finding more and more that you can actually get away with out using the interface if you are using sonar 8, and Ct 8, the responce with direct monitoring with Sonar 8, and two cards that I own the line6, and motu 8pre to be great when using direct monitoring otherwise known as input monitoring. To conclude, its really going to be your taste that is going to determine what you end up choosing, and also your need. If i were you I would go down to your local music shop and here them or test them out. However Bill at Dancing dots does also distribute the cards too,, and has some really kick ass prices. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dancing Dots" <billlist1@xxxxxxxxxxx>

They publish their own drivers for it which are optimized for use with SONAR. You should find themon their site by following their support link.Also, although it may be stretching your budget a bit, consider the PresonusFirebox. We've supplied the Firebox to many customers and they have been happy. I use one myself.
