Acoustic Guitar(x-y and over the shoulder Micing technique)

Has anyone tried doing an X-Y configuration in front and an over the shoulder mic on acoustic guitar?

I know its common to use the X-Y and I know some people use the over the should and one mic in front but has anyone used this combination with good results? Im just curios.

I have a session thursday and I'm thinking about trying this.

Problems with Edirol FA-101 and IBM X31 Laptop

Dear experts,

I have anoying problem with my FA-101 FireWire box and IBM X31 Laptop PC. First 15-30 minutes everything works smoothly but after awhile pops, clicks and silent periods start occure. As the time goes on the situation gets worse, ending up to dead audio interface = no sound in nor out. Complete boot for the IBM is only medicine I have figured out so far.

Patchbay suggestion

Balanced for 1/4'' TRS. I think I would run most of my outboard gear non-normalled. Since I use a Digidesign 002 with limited INS and OUTS, I am going to be doing a fair amount of patching, but nothing too extreme. Nothing more than 48 ins. Now, is there a sound difference between $100 1/4" TRS patchbays and $500 1/4'' TRS patchbays? Or is it mostly durability? My budget is about $500.
