Emagic announces Audiowerk8 for Windows 95 and MacOS

Logic Audio 3.0 will allow up to 24 physical tracks and supports the simultaneous use of multiple Audiowerk8 cards, which will be word clock synchronized via one digital I/O per card.

Expansion slots on the Audiowerk8 card allow the addition of daughter boards (see press release regarding Digital Out and ADAT I/O Expansion).
