Firewire Audio Interface

Hi,

Need to know what firewire audio interface works with my specs. Need 7 mic inputs (mics could connect to interface by jack, but I prefer using XLR) and 2 Line inputs simultaneously to record to powerbook.

Any advice appreciated
Thanks

Cubase Sx With Edirol Ua-5

New to Cubase SX. Just got Cubase SX which is borrowed from a friend until I can afford Logic 6. Did have Logic 4.7 Platinium OS9 but deleted OS9 as Logic was the only OS9 app I used. Thought this was pointless so I only use OSX now and classic isn't powerful enough to run Logic 4.7. Got an Edirol UA-5 which I used with Logic and found it easy to set up. Trying to set it up with Cubase proved more difficult. I installed the Edirol UA-5 OSX Driver but whatever I did, adjusting settings in the driver and Cubase SX I couldn't get low latency and reliable through put, just fuzz and breaks in the sound.

Mac Spec: eMac 700 with 1Gb RAM and a 40Gb HD

What values do I use: UA-5 Driver, Number of Disk Buffers, Disk Buffer Size, Audio Buffer Size and Expert Settings to get good results?
