It's my understanding that both optical and TDIF outputs are active simultaneously but that only one or the other input can be assigned on the d8b. Just quoting Mike.

Right, but just because they are both active doesn't mean you can use both of the inputs on one card at the same time. You can have one DIO-8 card running an ADAT input and another DIO-8 running the TDIF, but not both at the same time on the same card.

Seems to me, that's exactly what I said.

In the scheme of things, there isn't one... just chaos.

Ha Ha, Now I'm just interested in how many different ways we can say the same thing :) Cheers Peter!
