I have a BUZ and a DC30 in my computer.
Both work without problems. I never had more than this two cards in my 
computer.

I have a 2nd DC30 in my MAC I could add it once to the PC and try how 
recording works with two DC30 (The BUZ removed). To tell you if two 
identical cards work.

auf hoffentlich bald,
