I was looking at one of these yesterday and thought that it might make a good alternative to the ADAT outputs for a DIY pre that has been discussed:

While not as versatile as the ADAT out idea (this unit will act as a seperate audio card and needs it's own drivers, etc.), it seems super easy to pop into a DIY project. What what I can guess, it just takes analog inputs via a ribbon cable and dumps them into a firewire interface, without any bells and whistles. It seems like it would make a nice addition to a 8+ mic pre. It can handle up to 16 audio streams.
