PCMCIA Sound Card???

[twiggs462]

Does anyone out there know of a soundcard that I could use with my powerbook to get audio inputs and outputs. I want to do this to possibly upgrade quality. I know i could use an iMic but I wanted to see if there was another way... Thanks

Actually, iMic is good stuff. It may be the cheapest option.

If you want to go high end, Digigram has a number of cards. They even claim MacOSX compatibilty. They look pretty sweet.

These things come at a price, though. They're apparently aimed at the pro musician, and so the VxPocket v2 lists for $750, although I did find an online retailer that has it for $500. You could try eBay as well.

PCMCIA sound cards were pretty rare even in the days with no audio on laptops, I had to search around for one for my Dell laptop in 1993, and the card was just grim (nasty drivers, clumsy hardware). It wasn't a Digigram though.

Good luck!
