I've been following this forum on and off trying to find what fit my budget etc. Today I got a ride to a music store (I have poor vision) and bought the tascam usb unit. I was just going to get a midi interface Midisport but this seemed to have all I needed to 'jump up' from direct recording mic to mixer to /1/4/out to 1/8 input on my g4 tower using Audacity. The connection on the back of the computer wasn't very good with the long adapter.

I couldn't get the Tascam installed. Cubase seemed to work only in Classic and wouldn't recognize the US-122. The extra software that came with the unit was WIN only. I can read a manual but just couldn't get the unit to send out, using audacity with preferences changed. I used Midi in and Mic in. I couldn't get anything through the headphones either. I downloaded new drivers from Steinberg but then Cubase wouldn't go at all.

Reading the reviews at zzsounds makes me wish I had waited for the new MAc firewire, but searching through the archives this unit gets pretty good notices.

Sad in Syracuse

You might want to look at M-Audio's Firewire Audiophile - here.
But I'd check around the forums to see how this unit gets along with other people... M-Audio seems to have a reputation for sketchy drivers in these parts. (I recall reading about problems with their Firewire 410, but maybe things have been solved by now...)
SPDIF is for digital i/o.
By the way, if you won't be using more than 2 channels 95% of the time, a USB interface should handle everything just fine.
