The market isn't very big for companies like RME to invest resources when they do fine with cross-platform Firewire interfaces such as the Fireface 400 (which work great on both the Mac and PC)...

One suggestion, use the Express Card slot for external storage (SATA is REALLY high-speed, at least twice as fast as Firewire 800 with SATA II drives) and keep your Firewire port for the audio interface. This is what I did and it works pretty well!!

Firmtek makes a good Express Card 3/4 to SATA, as well as Sonnet and a couple of other people.

I'm eager to see if echo comes up with anything. I love my indigo, but sooner or later I'm gonna drop some cash on a new lappie, and still want the hassle- (cable)free portability.

this has been mentioned in other threads -

but


Duel Systems are currently testing and releasing soon a PCMCIA to EXPRESS/34 adaptor.

as i am jumping onto the MBP train now that the core 2 duo is out, and i was going to sell my emu1616m, but now im going to see how much this adaptor is.

I do quite like the idea of having a motu traveller added to my rack though.

Echo have no plans for an express card version of the indigo - besides they have just released a better solution with the audiofire 2 / 4

AUdioFire 2 can be found at my store for £164.99 btw
