They're kinda rare, so you just have to keep a look out on ebay. And by kinda I mean that sometimes there will be like 3 or 4 for sale at one time then nothing for awhile.

Use this time to study the manual and the database. Especially the part on how to route your signals to and fro. This seems to be the pits for new users. Also I see you said you would like it to work with protools, but you didn't mention what software version you were on(at least I didn't see it if you did). To work with PT you will need V5.1 for it's HUI function. Also read up on that, it's in the V5.1 manual.

Or even better, stick with your motu as your interface don't worry about a sync card or upgrading the software and check out marc's d8bridge software that goes well beyond the capabilities of the HUI mode but doesn't give you any audio functions on the board. The cost of d8bridge will be cheaper than having to buy a sync card for 300.00-400.00, depending on the seller, and new software for 174.00. Just sayin. You can read up on that in the d8bridge portion of the forum.

Now you have even more homework...

Oh thanks!!! I'll go check the d8bridge section, thanks for the heads up! Oh, and I use Protools 9

Also, I found these on eBay! Would these do the trick?
