[QUOTE="Cordraconis, post: 1193117, member: 159447"] MP1 vs MP2 is a valid question. :-) Since it took about 5 months for my local PC shop to hunt down the components, I figured in the meanwhile MP2 would have gotten to the usable stage - which I still think it does. MP2 has the same "core" as MP1, but with a different sprinkling of features, so I don't think there will be much difference. If everything really fails, I can always try MP1, but I looked at the supported cards section of MP2 and based on that I got the Hauppaughe card. And now i have it...
