z60m+rme multiface

[dubolik]

Hello Everybody!

I recently bought z60m 2529 and I want to use it for audio purposes,but there could be some issues...I have audio card RME multiface which is now connected
to my desktop pc.Anyway I was planning on to buy rme's cardbus card so I can connect interface with my z60m,BUT- I found this post on web from guy who
had this issue with exactly same setup as mine, and he had major problems with cracks, drop outs,audio frequency jumping etc...

This is what he said:

''z60m is sharing IRQ right on the cardbus (pcmcia), with graphic card,usb and LAN...and there is the problem...
if you want that your soundcard working properly, without any cracks you need a single IRQ for the pcmcia slot...no sharing with any other device...''

Anyway he didn't have nervs, so he sold multiface and now is buying some firewire interface. This is my system info from win Xp, so I wondered(I'm no
big expert bout this things) how is it possible to make this irq single/or there is maybe some other solution? Also I've read somewhere that audio interfaces/cardbuses
don't get along so much with ricoh controllers

Anyway, thanx for helping me in advance;)

Also if someone knows some audio firewire interface that works ok with z60m...I could give it a try
