Wow, this list works fast!  I love you guys!  I have an offer for an RME 
Fireface which looks like it will work.  (Thanks, Kevin!)  I think I'm 
going to go with that unless the Lynx Firewire card pops up somewhere. 
If anyone has a stash of Female-XLR to TRS cables or some extra light 
pipe cables, let me know.

A point of clarification, since I confused at least one poor soul with 
my email:

My laptop can do Firewire (via a cardbus card).  I just don't already 
have a multichannel audio doodad that can also do Firewire.  My Aurora 
converter doesn't do Firewire out of the box, but there is a card you 
can install in the Aurora to make it Firewire capable which is what I 
tried to buy.  Specifically, this thing:

Thanks!
