the words "piss" and "poor" spring to mind.I still use a DIO2448 as it does exactly what I want - gives me pro-quality SPDIF in/out via coax (or optical), not some crappy "break-out" D-connector.
Unfortunately, despite the fact it was only introduced in 1999, M-audio never bothered to release drivers beyond beta for Win2000/XP, and although SPDIF-out works well (having actually optimised my Win2K box around it - no ACPI, dedicated IRQ etc.), you can't record (use SPDIF in) because the native M-audio 'control-panel' won't install - I had to set up a second Win98 boot-partition.
Bear in mind that this was not a cheap piece of hardware - over £110GBP in 2000, and a lot of people probably ended up consigning them to the loft soon after, when they migrated from DOS-based Windows. Not impressive.
