 Its always the 
  same story with digi, if you want other software running
 reliably, you 
  need an additional interface.
 I have only experience with the old M-box and 
  that sometimes bugs out
 even with protools. This is even true for an 
  interface like the Digi
 002. We had a concert recently where three in 
  words 3 different digi 002
 all bugged out (probably some dirty mains, but 
  thats a guess...)
 fortunately I had an old Motu mark I as 4th backup which 
  saved the
 session, as we only wanted to play complete sound files, which I 
  could
 easily play with Max/MSP...
 
 For the speed, USB 1.1 would be 
  fast enough even for 96/24 as the M-box
 has only two channels, but there 
  are other issues which seem to make it
 less reliable (especially in 
  combination with Digi). Firewire is made
 for streaming, USB is made for 
  mice not for mics...
 
 I'd never trust digi if you need it live. ProTools 
  is a great software,
 but Dizzydesigns hardware and drivers are a 
  nightmare, and customer
 service literally doesn't exist, unless you buy 
  the big packets with
 support...
 
 Sorry, the only thing I love about 
  Digi is the rants... ;-)
