I have a Turtle Beatch Tropez, and use full duplex mode to record and
playback at the same time. Allmost all Turtle Beatch (Maui, Tropez etc)
and DigiDesign (Card-D, Automedia III etc) cards can do this type of 
recording (with a fast hard disk). Point you web browser to, Turtle Beatch
pages at, http://www.tbeach.com/

or look at the Turtle Beatch user group pages at,

Try the Etcetera page for pro-audio sales in Europe try
