Not a bad card... 2 analog ins, 2 analog outs, S/PDIF I/O, 24-bit 
files up to 48 k.  I bought one for about $180 a year ago, and I've 
kept an eye on them off and on since... they're still going for the 
~$200 price range.  Plus, you get SoundDesigner2, which is still a 
great program, even though it officially 'died' many years ago.  (I 
recently migrated to Spark so that I could let a friend of mine use 
my AudioMedia3 card.)  Search for "audiomedia" and/or "toolbox"... 
but look out for the AudioMedia2 cards - they're the NuBus cards 
(yep, I've got one of them in my Radius clone) that go for about $25.

On a MOTU note, they told me that my copy of Mach 5 will ship at the 
end of the month.  I verified that they were referring to the month 
of July, and that the year in question was indeed 2003.  They still 
haven't charged my credit card yet....
