RE: Building a rackmount looping computer as an alternative to the Receptor for Mobius
I run a Vaio laptop with Layla 24 PCMCIA audio and a Steinberg Midex USB
MIDI interface. It works flawlessly and reliably. I don't know if the
processor is a Pentium M. As for PCMCIA, Echo is moving to firewire...
which the Vaio also supports.
I'm curious, why would PCMCIA be better than firewire?

Yes. I read a lot at the audio computer performance test thread at
the Ableton Live forum. What I learned from all those posted test
reports was that the Pentium M processors in modern notebooks are
much more efficient with the type of calculations happening in real-
time audio software. The best configuration I can imagine would be
such a laptop with a PCMCIA audio interface and a USB midi interface.
