Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyway.
I need to get a midi interface 8in 8 out, and was advised by one friend to get the Emagic AMT-8, but thought I would just get some second opinions while I am waiting to bid on one. Two other choices were the Midiman (M-Audio) Midisport 8x8 or the Edirol UM-880. Or if there are any other interfaces that I should consider as well. I am running WinXP so there are drivers available for all the above, but wont be Vista support as all these are discontinued models, but I wont be using Vista for my music setup either, so its not really an issue.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I think I have answered my own question. After checking on planetz I have decided to go with the advice from here and my friends advice too and get the AMT8. Even though its discontinued it will do its job, and apparently very well.
But any other advice on this would still be appreciated

Thanks for the info stardust, yeah it was worth reading about, but I think for the money, the amt8 is still the way to go for me, even without future support. Thanks anyway though.
